WIBG is a radio station broadcasting from Ocean City, New Jersey. The WIBG call letters were previously used in Philadelphia for a pioneering rock 'n' roll station now called WNTP. WIBG broadcasts on an AM frequency of 1020 kHz, which is the same frequency used by Pittsburgh's KDKA, a clear channel station that is also America's oldest radio station. As such, WIBG broadcasts only during the daytime to avoid interfering with KDKA. During the daytime, WIBG's signal reaches from Toms River to Cape May, New Jersey, and west into the Philadelphia suburbs. On November 19, 2008, WIBG joined Radiolicious and began streaming on the iPhone and iPod Touch. ==History== The station began operations in the mid-1960s as WSLT on 1520 kHz. The call sign was changed to WIBG in 1978 after the call went out of use in Philadelphia. The station broadcast with various formats over the years including MOR, Top 40, oldies and country. In the early 1980s WIBG lost the lease on its transmitter site in Somers Point and went off the air for a time. A replacement site in Cape May County was eventually located and the station built a new tower site and returned to the air, changing its frequency to 1020 kHz in the process. The revived WIBG aired Spanish-language programming and tourist information before adopting a religious format. Another station for the city of Avalon, New Jersey is WIBG-FM, a South Jersey Oldies format station. In October 2011, the station changed formats to Talk Radio. In May 2013, WIBG dropped its syndicated talk programs and began programming music on weekdays, with some local talk shows and religious broadcasts continuing to air on weekends. On June 3, 2013, the format changed to Spanish Hits "En Vivo 1020". WIBG-AM's signal and programming can also be heard on translator station W267BP broadcasting on 101.3 FM in Palermo, New Jersey. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「WIBG (AM)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
