WEGB


WEGB is a radio station licensed to Napeague, New York and serves eastern Long Island. It broadcasts a Christian radio format and is under ownership of the Community Bible Church.
The station was assigned the current WEGB call letters by the Federal Communications Commission on February 13, 2009 and began broadcasting on October 6, 2011.

Former callsign

For unclear reasons, the Federal Communications Commission unusually granted the station's initial Construction Permit a "K" call sign of KCBE on October 23, 2008. Since 1923, FCC policy has been to grant call signs beginning with a "K" to stations with a community of license west of the Mississippi River. Most other stations east of the Mississippi beginning with a "K", including KYW in Philadelphia and KDKA in Pittsburgh, date back to previous policy that assigned all land stations "K" call signs. The FCC has also granted improper "K" call signs due to clerical errors, most notably KTGG in Spring Arbor, Michigan.

Other frequencies

WEGB simulcasts on one translator, W227AN in Southampton, New York.
Community Bible Church also owns 91.7 FM WEGQ which broadcasts from Quogue, New York and simulcasts the programming of WEGB.
