Radio station in Mina, New York
WEBG (95.9 FM, "Fox Sports 1330 ") is a radio station licensed to Mina, New York , owned by iHeartMedia . Its transmitter is located near Northeast Sherman Rd and Miller Rd in Chautauqua County New York . The station broadcasts a sports format as a simulcast of WFNN (1330 AM) from Erie, Pennsylvania . The station has a rimshot signal serving the nearby Erie market; however, it is unable to be heard in the city itself because of co-channel interference from low-power Three Angels Broadcasting Network repeater WBIT-LP [ 2] Chautauqua County, New York , but is spotty in the population centers of Dunkirk , Fredonia and Jamestown .
WEBG is iHeart's only broadcast property in New York west of Rochester . It (and its predecessor Clear Channel) has historically owned stations across almost all markets of New York except Western New York . WEBG's minimal local operations are headquartered along with iHeart's stations in Erie at the Boston Store building.
