WQBK-FM's transmitter is located on the Bald Mountain tower once used by WNYT, in the Town of Brunswick in Rensselaer County. WQBK-FM's Class B1 signal is impeded to the southwest due to co-channel WBNW-FM in Binghamton, and to the east due to WWEI Easthampton, Massachusetts (105.5 FM). WQBK-FM has an effective radiated power (ERP) of 7,100 watts. It broadcasts in the HD Radio hybrid format, with its HD2 subchannel carrying an urban contemporary format branded as "Hot 99.1," also heard on 250-watt FM translator W256BU on 99.1 MHz.
