WOKR (1310 AM) is a radio station broadcasting a talk format. Licensed to Canandaigua, New York, United States, the station is owned by Brian McGlynn, through licensee Genesee Media Corporation.^[1]

History

The station went on the air as WCGR on October 14, 1997. On October 5, 1998, the station changed its call sign to WRSB;^[2] it operated intermittently throughout the 1990s and 2000s.

The station was acquired by Genesee Media Corporation on June 8, 2013 at a price of $450,000. The station added high-quality C-QUAM AM stereo broadcasting in October 2013. It swapped call signs with its simulcast partner on August 1, 2017, taking on the call sign WOKR. The station formerly broadcast on 105.5 FM but Genesee Media Corporation sold the FM frequency to Bluelight Communications for a price of $650,000 who launched an Urban/R&B station on the 105.5 frequency.

The 105.5 frequency was replaced by Genesee Media Corporation by a frequency at 97.5 FM.^[3]

On September 21, 2017, WOKR changed formats from sports to talk and the 97.5 translator switched to a simulcast of sister station WRSB 1590 AM Brockport (which in turn flipped to Spanish).^[4] The new format contains a collection of shows from Fox News Radio, Compass Media Networks, Bloomberg Radio and Radio America.
