WGOG to mark year 60

How are you on birthdays? At WGOG, we don’t get overly excited, but the one coming up Monday has us thinking. On Monday, April 15—the day known as tax day—WGOG will mark its 60th year. The station is now in its third set of owners. We are sad to say that we don’t have a record of all the names of the many announcers and other staff members who made WGOG their home over the year. Suffice it to say, there were many characters and some local radio legends. It’s still remarkable that what was a cotton field here on the Westminster Highway became one of the many radio stations that dotted the landscape of rural America back in the 20th century. And we’re still going!
