WFGL (960 AM) is a radio station broadcasting a Christian radio format and licensed to Fitchburg, Massachusetts, USA. The station is currently owned by Horizon Christian Fellowship of Fitchburg.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=WFGL Facility Record )〕 ==History== The station went on the air February 15, 1950 as WFGM at 1580 kilocycles. WFGM's original studios were located on the 3rd floor of a downtown building at the corner of Main and Prichard Streets in Fitchburg. The original transmitter included one broadcast tower on Lunenburg Street near the current intersection of John Fitch Highway. The station had a power output of 1,000 watts. Several years later, new studios were constructed in a renovated townhouse at 170 Prichard Street, which was then renamed Broadcast House. A new 4-tower transmitter was constructed atop Alpine Hill and the station's frequency was changed to 960 kilocycles. In 1960, the station was granted a license for FM station WFGM-FM/104.5, which later became WBNE, WFMP and eventually WXLO. On November 1, 1962, the stations were sold to local businessman George Chatfield who in turn acquired a local newspaper, ''The Montachusett Review''. The AM call letters were changed to WFGL in 1967. WFMP-FM became popular for featuring country music in the 1970s featuring the legendary Gene LaVerne and Dave Brown. In 1979 both stations were sold to Montachusett Broadcasting. During this time period it featured the on-air talents of Dave Svens, Scott May, Paul Belfay, Greg Vine, Gail Dussault and Al Brodie, among others. WFGL was granted a power increase to 2,500 watts in 1984. In 1991, the station was renamed to WXLO,〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=WFGL Call Sign History )〕 and programming was converted to a simulcast of WXLO-FM. Soon afterward, the station went silent; during the silent period, the WFGL callsign was reinstated.〔 The station was then sold, and resumed broadcasting in October 1994 with the current Christian format. In 2001, the studios moved to their current location in a refurbished brick mill building. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「WFGL」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
