WGHQ (920 kHz) is a commercial AM radio station licensed to Kingston, New York, and serving the Hudson Valley. WGHQ is owned by Pamal Broadcasting and it simulcasts a conservative talk radio format known as "The Beacon" with sister stations WLNA 1420 Peekskill and WBNR 1260 Beacon. The studios are on New York State Route 52 in Beacon.
By day, WGHQ is powered at 1,000 watts. But at night, to protect other stations on 920 AM from interference, power is reduced to 38 watts. It broadcasts a non-directional signal from a single tower located south of Port Ewen, New York.[2] WGHQ also broadcasts on FM translator W223CR Port Ewen, at 92.5 MHz.
