WMBG
Radio station in Williamsburg, Virginia, United States
WMBG (740 kHz) is a commercial AM radio station licensed in Williamsburg, Virginia, serving the Virginia Peninsula. WMBG is owned and operated by Gregory H. Granger. It airs local news and talk, as well as a mix of adult standards, oldies, and classic hits formats.
The station operates with 500 watts omnidirectional by day. Because 740 is a clear-channel frequency reserved for Class A station CFZM in Toronto, WMBG must reduce power to 7 watts at night to avoid interference.
WMBG programming is simulcast full time on an FM translator station, W228DX, 93.5 MHz.
