The Southport Correctional Facility was an ultra-maximum-security, or "supermax", prison, run by the New York State Department of Corrections and Community Supervision. It was located in the town of Southport, in the Southern Tier of New York State, United States. It was rare for a prisoner to be sent directly to Southport from the outside; virtually all of its inmates were transferred there after committing serious disciplinary infractions at some other prison in the state. On occasion, however, a particularly notorious inmate was sent there for "protective custody"; that is to say, to prevent him from being attacked by other inmates. One example was convicted child-killer Joel Steinberg. The prison closed on March 10, 2022.

WENI-FM

WENI-FM (92.7 MHz) is an American radio station licensed by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) to serve the community of South Waverly, Pennsylvania (located south of Waverly, New York). Starting in early 2010, the then-WPHD moved to Comfort Hill in Ashland, New York, just south of Elmira. WENI-FM is located on the same radio tower as Elmira-licensed WCBF. WENI-FM now has one of the strongest signals in Chemung County, New York, and the greater Elmira area. At one time, the call sign WPHD was assigned to FM station WMTT (94.7 FM) in Tioga, Pennsylvania, but changed in 2005. WMTT remains a sister station of WPHD. WMTT is co-located within the WPHD studios located on Chemung Street in Horseheads, New York. In 2017, owner Europa Communications filed to swap the license for WPHD to Sound Communications in exchange for the license to WENY-FM. The station swap was consummated on November 15, 2017, along with the formats. Additionally, the stations swapped call signs on November 20, 2017. On December 8, 2017, WENY-FM moved from 96.1 FM to 92.7 FM. The station swapped call signs with its Big Flats, New York–based sister station on December 27, 2017, assuming the WENI-FM call sign. The trade was largely a legal fiction to allow both stations to swap cities of license and allow each station's respective owners to make potential expansions (as Europa's stations were mostly rimshots that did not count toward FCC ownership caps the same way in-market stations do). Standard Media announced its purchase of Sound Communications and its affiliated companies in November 2019. In June 2021 WENI-FM changed their format from adult contemporary, which moved to WENY (1230 AM), to classic rock, branded as "The Met"; this format moved from WMTT-FM (100.9) in Horseheads, which had been acquired by the Family Life Network and became WCID.
