WEBG (FM)

WEBG (95.9 FM, "iHeartPodcast 95.9") is a radio station licensed to Mina, New York. Owned by iHeartMedia. Its studios are located in the Boston Store building downtown Erie while its transmitter is located near Northeast Sherman Rd and Miller Rd in Chautauqua County New York just outside of Erie Pennsylvania. The station broadcasts a talk radio format derived from podcasts distributed by the company. The station has a rimshot signal serving the nearby Erie Pennsylvania market, however it is unable to be heard in the city itself because of co-channel interference from low-power broadcaster WXNM-LP. Its signal is strongest in western Chautauqua County, New York but is spotty in the population centers of Dunkirk, Fredonia and Jamestown.
