Hudson Valley Radio: WGNY Adds ESPN

Poughkeepsie fans have a new option for getting their sports fix.

Orange County-based Sunrise Broadcasting began carrying ESPN Radio on its WGNY 1220 AM station Monday, filling a void that had existed in the Hudson Valley for almost a decade.

“There was no full-time sports station. The closest was in New York City,” market manager Bob DeFelice told the Poughkeepsie Journal, referring to the likes of the Big Apple’s WFAN (660 AM) and ESPN Radio affiliate WEPN (98.7 FM); the latter rarely reaches Dutchess County. “Now you can hear it loud and clear all the time. That’s why we brought it here.”

Currently available locally on FOX’s 1220 AM station, the ESPN Radio content — everything from “Mike & Mike in the Morning” to “The Herd with Colin Cowherd” — also will be available in Poughkeepsie on its 97.3 FM station by the end of the week, DeFelice said.
