WSSV

WSSV (1160 AM) is a commercial radio station licensed to Mechanicville, New York, and serving the Capital District.

Though the format proved popular with local listeners, the station had a difficult time retaining advertising accounts due to repeated transmitter and telephone line failures.

Again, money shortages and aging, unreliable equipment forced Branigan to sell the station outright.

The company fixed the transmitter and equipment problems and brought it back on the air, playing 1960s–1970s hits as "Sunny 1160."

Two years later, WMVI would take the abandoned WABY call sign as a tribute to the popular Top 40 station of the 1960s and 70s in Albany.

Anastos sold his Albany-area stations, WABY, WQAR, WVKZ, WUAM and its translator W291BY, to Empire Broadcasting Corporation in June 2012, at a purchase price of $1.2 million.

[9] On May 6, 2019, Loud Media's Saratoga Radio LLC filed to acquire WSSV from Empire Broadcasting.
