WHGB (1400 AM, "95.3 Nash Icon") is a radio station broadcasting a country music format. Licensed to Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, it serves the greater Harrisburg metropolitan area. It broadcast under the call sign WFEC for many years. The station is currently owned by Cumulus Media. ==History== The station was first assigned the call sign WHGB when it signed on in 1945. It became WFEC in 1963 featuring a Top 40 format. In 1982 after a series of failed country, disco and urban formats (beginning in 1977), it returned to Top 40 and adopted the Mike Joseph format called Hot Hits in response to the success of WCAU-FM in Philadelphia with that approach. Although WFEC featured the basics of the Hot Hits format to the letter, it was not consulted by Joseph himself. During the Hot Hits era, the station was known as ''Fire 14''.〔http://www.reelradio.com/rjh/index.html〕 On February 3, 1983, the station changed its call sign back to WHGB. On October 31, 1990, the station changed its call sign to WNNK as "Wink 1400", a counterpart to WNNK-FM. The station changed its call sign to WTCY on August 27, 1993 and by 2007 had been broadcasting an Urban Adult Contemporary format as "1400 The Touch". WTCY started simulcasting "The Touch" on WNNK-FM's translator located at 95.3 FM (W237DE). On August 20, 2008, the station switched formats to sports radio featuring ESPN Radio, returning to the call sign WHGB that had been used in the 40s, 50s and 60s and again from 1984 until 1990. The previous format remained on WNNK-FM's HD2 channel and translator on 95.3 FM using the call sign WTCY. "The Touch 95.3" is now gone for good, leaving no full time Urban or Urban AC station in Harrisburg. The closest ones are WAMO in Pittsburgh, and WPHI, WRNB, WUSL, and WDAS in Philadelphia. On January 2, 2013 the station switched over to CBS Sports Radio.〔http://www.pennlive.com/sports/index.ssf/2013/01/cumulus_medias_switch_from_esp.html〕 On March 2, 2015 WHGB changed their format from sports to country, branded as "95.3 Nash Icon".〔(Nash Icon Launches in Harrisburg )〕 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「WHGB」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
