KINGSTON NY >> Local programming on WGHQ-AM has been knocked off the air, apparently by Verizon cutting off the signal transmitted through telephone lines from the station's Uptown Kingston studio to a transmitter in Port Ewen.
Walter Maxwell, president of Kingston Community Radio, listener-supported, local programming carried on WGHQ, said the local programming at 920 AM went off the air sometime over the weekend. The problem wasn't discovered until Monday, Maxwell said, because on weekends, the station airs the syndicated programming of Robin Hood Radio.
