WIPS makes a comeback Ticonderoga radio station is on the Internet By Lohr McKinstry STA FF W RITER
TICONDEROGA | WIPS Radio of Ticonderoga returned to the airwaves last week with six internet streams. The streams feature different music genres, like country, rock and oldies, but disc jockeys are broadcasting local news, weather and events from the station’s downtown Ticonderoga studios at 102 Montcalm St. The first day was supposed to be Jan. 2, but ended up being postponed to Jan. 4, said owner Robert Streeter. “I knew (Jan. 2) would be a big day,” Streeter said of their debut. “We had a glitch in the server I didn’t catch.” The station was on the air for a few hours on Jan. 2, then went off until the server streaming issues could be worked out. “We’ve invested a quarter of a million dollars in WIPS,” Streeter said. “We have three studios now. “We have a speaker system we can take on remotes. It’s six radio stations in one. We’re bringing a dead radio station back to life in a whole different format.” The first remote broadcast is Wednesday, Jan. 17 from 7 to 9 p.m. at Madden’s Pub across the street from their studios. “The secret sauce here is humility and service,” Streeter said. “People realize we’re coming at this with a service heart. We want to give back to the community. I’m local; I didn’t just come sweeping in.” » WIPS Cont. on pg. 2

ELIZABETHTOWN | The state has a year until their selfimposed deadline to provide universal broadband access for all New Yorkers. Fifty-one weeks, actually. But who’s counting? Assemblyman Dan Stec (R-Queensbury) thinks the state will fall short of that goal.
