In December 2017, a 1kw radio station long known for its gold-based Adult Contemporary format and past ownership by Cumulus Media and, later, Townsquare Media, agreed to purchase a 163-year-old octagonal home on a main thoroughfare in the midtown section of a small Mid-Hudson Valley city that was undergoing a renaissance after a quarter-century of neglect.
With the help of WSDG — Walters-Storyk Design Group, that is — “Radio Kingston” began its broadcasting operations from the historic structure, which now houses state-of-the-art broadcast facilities. One year later, the reinvented AM with an FM booster, WKNY in Kingston, N.Y., has not only reimagined its broadcast programming but also its studios and offices.
