WGGO is an AM radio station located in Salamanca, New York, United States. The station broadcasts at 1590 kHz. ==History== WGGO signed on June 19, 1957 under the guidance of religious broadcaster George Thayer as WNYS, although they changed their call signs fairly early in their existence. (Thayer is still alive today and continues to produce religious broadcasts.()) One of WGGO's most notable alumni is CBS weatherman Ira Joe Fisher, who worked at the station for his first job in 1963. In the late 1970s/early 1980s, WGGO's original programming included "Tradio on the Radio" and a top 25 countdown show called "The Most Alive 25". During this time period, one of the evening DJs went by the moniker "Johnny B. Goode", and would end each broadcast day by playing the Chuck Berry hit before sign-off. WGGO was a local operation well into the 1990s, when it ran a country music and variety format. Some time in the late 1990s, WGGO switched to a satellite nostalgia format ("America's Best Music") from Westwood One. In 2003, the station moved to an adult contemporary format ("Unforgettable Favorites") from ABC Radio, with ABC News Radio updates at the top of each hour. Prior to 2003 the station was a daytime-only station that, regardless of time of year, would always sign off at 5:00 PM each day. The station now broadcasts at a nominal power level at night. In 2006, Pembrook Pines Media Group (an ownership group led by Robert Pfuntner), took over the station and changed the format to sports radio along with sister stations WELM in Elmira and WPIE in Ithaca. Vision Communications was slated to buy what is left of Pembrook Pines in 2014, and changed the format to its current one in late 2013 (at the time simulcasting WEHH in Elmira) upon the assumption of a local marketing agreement, but withdrew its bid days before it was to close because of cross-ownership objections. Once those objections were resolved (WEHH was not included in the revised sale, so that simulcast had to be broken), Vision acquired WGGO. 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「WGGO」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
