WVIP (100.5 MHz, "Solid Gold 100.5 & 104.5") is a commercial FM radio station licensed to Susquehanna, Pennsylvania, and serving the Binghamton metropolitan area.
[2][3] In the fall, WVIP carries Buffalo Bills football.
In that era few people owned FM radio receivers, and management saw little opportunity to make it profitable, so the station was taken silent.
In 1956, WNBF-FM returned to the air, moving to 98.1 MHz (currently WHWK).
[6] The 100.5 allocation in the eastern Twin Tiers remained silent for the next 40 years.
