Ariél Zangla reports in The Daily Freeman that WKNY (1490-AM) has now officialy been sold for $500,000 by Townsquare Media to the nonprofit Radio Kingston Corp. The Federal Communications Commission approved the sale last month. Jimmy Buff, executive director of Radio Kingston, says the station will now adopt a non-commercial community format. “Our first public discussion of what Kingston wants from a community station, how we can best serve the city’s residents and how people can participate in that, including doing radio shows,” will be at 6 p.m. Nov. 29 at the Kingston Library, 55 Franklin St., Buff said. Buff used to be program director at Woodstock's commercial radio station WDST (100.1-FM). WKNY first went on the air on Dec. 16, 1939, from the Kingston High School auditorium.
