WGGC (95.1 FM) is a radio station broadcasting a country music format. It is licensed to Bowling Green, Kentucky, USA, and serves the Bowling Green area of south-central and west-central Kentucky. The station is currently owned by Heritage Communications, Inc.〔("WGGC Call Sign History" ) ''United States Federal Communications Commission, audio division''〕 Its transmitter is located in northern Allen County on Kentucky Route 101 near the Warren/Allen County line. Its broadcasting studio is located at 1727 US 31W Bypass in Bowling Green.〔http://www.wggc.com/contactus.html〕 ==History== The station's application history dates back to 1959-60, when the call letters were going to be WKAY-FM to match with WKAY-AM, but the WGGC call letters were assigned by the FCC in July 1960.〔Changing Hands. ''Broadcasting'', August 1, 1960, page 96. ()〕 Originally licensed to and located in Glasgow, Kentucky, the station first signed on the air in 1961 under ownership of Glasgow Broadcasting Company (now Heritage Communications, Inc.), which also owned WKAY-AM radio (now WCLU-AM). At the time of its inception, WGGC was the first FM radio station ever to sign on in south central Kentucky as all other FM signals came from either Nashville, Louisville, Central City, or Owensboro. Both WGGC and WKAY shared studios at 510 Happy Valley Road in Glasgow (Kentucky Route 351, now Kentucky State Route 90), which was demolished in November 2014 to make room for a new drug store. To date, this station never changed its callsign, nor has it ever changed its programming format.〔"(WGGC Facility Record )". ''United States Federal Communications Commission, audio division''〕 In 1988, WGGC's signal origination was moved to its present transmitting site in Allen County.〔 At one point in 1989, the station's callsign was changed to WPRX,〔Changing Hands. ''Broadcasting'', June 19, 1989, page 72. ()〕 but reverted to the WGGC callsign in either 1992 or 1993, and until 2002, it was known on air as "Country 95." Then at some point in the mid-2000s, WGGC moved its broadcasting license to Bowling Green, where the station's broadcast facilities are currently located. From 2002 until 2010, the station was branded as "95.1 WGGC." It began branding itself as "Goober 95.1" in late 2010. WGGC has often been involved in community service; most recently in June 2014, when the station, in conjunction with the southern Kentucky chapter of United Way, hosted a radio-thon to raise money for country music superstar Dolly Parton's Imagination Library.〔("Hometown Hero: Goober 95.1 WGGC - WBKO | Bowling Green, KY" ). WBKO-TV (June 27, 2014). Retrieved April 14, 2015.〕 It became an annual event beginning in 2015. 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「WGGC」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
