The Seneca Nation will suspend operations of Classic Hits 105.9 WGWE Little Valley NY at the end of the month.
In an FCC filing the station states it needs to suspend operations of WGWE because “it faces financial distress, including long-term losses, in its operation of the station” that “have been exacerbated by the ongoing COVID-19 crisis”.
The station serves the southwestern corner of New York including the Jamestown and Olean markets, the latter of which it currently has a 1.7 share. The Seneca Nation tribe has operated the station since in signed-on in 2010 after purchasing its Construction Permit from Randy Michaels’ Radioactive LLC.
