WRNY (1350 AM) is an American radio station broadcasting at 1350 kHz. The station was owned by Clear Channel until September 2007, when ownership was transferred to Galaxy Utica as a result of Clear Channel's decision to "go private".[1] The station had been acquired by Clear Channel from Dame Media in June, 1999.

As of September 2007, prior to the transfer to Galaxy, the station was operating as part of a four station network of Sports Talk radio stations named "The Sports Stars", carrying a variety of local and syndicated sports talk programming, along with live coverage of local sporting events. The all sports format has been retained with different sports programming. The slogan changed from "Sports Stars" to "1310 The Game."

WRNY's "The Game" network also broadcasts on WIXT AM 1230 in Little Falls, New York and originates on WTLB AM 1310 in Utica, New York. Each of the three stations occasionally breaks away to air local sports of interest surrounding each station's city of license.

The network is affiliated with Sporting News Radio.
