WKCY (1300 AM) is a news/talk formatted broadcast radio station licensed to Harrisonburg, Virginia, serving Harrisonburg and Rockingham County, Virginia.[1] WKCY is owned and operated by iHeartMedia, Inc.[4] This station uses a very small mast at 18.4M but the signal is boosted by Capacitive Top loading. Even that help won't help the night signal get far at all.
