In October 2013, Pax et Bonum announced that it would acquire WDDY (1460 AM) from The Walt Disney Company. It had carried programming from Radio Disney. When that network decided to give up most of its radio stations, AM 1460 was available for purchase.
Upon the deal's completion, that station was renamed WOPG and became a simulcast of WOPG-FM. Concurrently, the station relocated its studios to the 1460 transmitter site in Delmar, New York. The acquisition was made to improve WOPG-FM's reception in the Capital District, which is affected by terrain.[4] For those listeners who can't clearly receive the FM signal in the Capital District, they can still listen to 1460 AM.
