The Seneca Nation in western New York now has its own FM station, WGWE 105.9, In Little Valley, in Cattaraugus County, the Seneca Nation signed on new FM station WGWE (105.9) last Monday morning at 6, kicking off the broadcast with a traditional Seneca prayer of thanksgiving. WGWE's regular format is Citadel's satellite-delivered classic hits, but the station also has a local morning show and noontime request show, hosted by Mike Smith, aka "Smitty," who left a long stint at Olean's WPIG 95.7 to join the station. It's based in a former convenience store in Salamanca, and its 7 kW/626' class B1 signal reaches north almost to Erie County and west almost to the Pennsylvania state line. The WGWE calls come from a Seneca word that means "what's up"). (Northeast Radio Watch)
