Local Radio Returns to Saratoga Springs

SARATOGA SPRINGS — Saratoga’s Star Radio returns to the area to offer a variety of music and relevant information to listeners living in the Saratoga County region.  In May of 2019 Border Media, LLC and A&J Radio LLC formed a partnership called Saratoga Radio LLC which purchased WSSV-AM, 1160AM, licensed to Mechanicville, and 93.3FM, a new FM translator signal licensed to Saratoga Springs.

“The motivation behind this purchase was the desire to bring local radio back to Saratoga Springs,” said Ricki Lee, owner of Saratoga’s Star Radio. 

Locally owned and operated, Saratoga’s Star Radio will offer a mix of music from the 70s to 90s with a sprinkle of songs from other eras. The target will be an adult contemporary audience age 35+. The station will connect Saratoga area listeners with news and weather, as well as everything that happens in the community they live in.

Fran Dingeman, former General Manager of Star 101.3 FM and a three station AM cluster including 1160am, worked for Anastos Media Group followed by Empire Broadcasting Corporation. Fran has been hired as the new General Manager of Saratoga’s Star Radio to help build the station and drive it forward. Fran is the current owner of Network Saratoga, an event development, marketing and promotions company responsible for well known Saratoga events such as the Longfellows Wedding Show, Saratoga International Flavorfeast, and Black Friday Saratoga. Fran has sixteen years of experience in the radio business and is a 26-year resident of Saratoga Springs.
