WRAQ-LP (92.7 FM) is a radio station licensed to serve the community of Angelica, New York. The station is owned by Angelica Community Radio Inc. It airs a community radio format. [2] It is the only noncommercial radio station to originate programming from within Allegany County; [3] its broadcasters are nicknamed the "Radio Dogs." [4]

The station was assigned the WRAQ-LP call letters by the Federal Communications Commission on February 26, 2014. [5] It began broadcasting regularly on the FM signal in 2016, a year after beginning streaming its programs on the Internet. [6]

WRAQ participates in the annual Thanksgiving tradition of playing "Alice's Restaurant;" unusually for stations that participate in the tradition, it airs the song the day before Thanksgiving instead of the traditional Thanksgiving Day itself. [7]
