The station broadcasts at 99.7 MHz on the FM dial and is owned by Roser Communications Network, Inc. The station also has a simulcast with WBUG-FM (101.1) in Fort Plain, New York.
Though the station is licensed to the village of Newport, New York, the license states "Newport Village" as the city of license

WBUG-FM began as a locally produced simulcast with WBUG in Amsterdam and WBGG in Saratoga Springs. WBGG broke from the simulcast in 1994, and it was replaced with Little Falls-licensed WLFH (now WIXT, a simulcast of variety hits-formatted WKLL-HD2), which had itself been a country music station. The stations then broadcast the Real Country satellite classic country format from ABC Radio, and added WBGK at 99.7FM
