WNGC (106.1 FM) is a radio station in North Georgia that plays country music. Its city of license is Arcade, Georgia with studios in Athens. ==Station history== Prior to December 1996, 106.1 was a light rock station before switching to country and calling itself "South 106." The studios had moved from Toccoa to Gainesville and finally to Athens. Its signal was hard to pick up in the Atlanta area outside of Gwinnett. In the spring of 1999, WSTE built a new tower because at the time they were still in competition with WNGC, before the two stations merged. The purpose of the deal was to try to reach a larger audience and give the two Atlanta country stations WKHX "Kicks" 101.5, and WYAY (at the time Y106) some competition. While WNGC's City of License is in Arcade, the transmitter is located in Lula, Georgia (in northern Hall County). WNGC's signal can be heard in Downtown Atlanta, Greenville, South Carolina and in parts of Asheville, North Carolina, but the main coverage area is northeast Georgia and the Athens metro area (where the studios are located). Attempts were made in 2001 to move the transmitter to Sugar Hill in Gwinnett County, but those plans were scrapped.In July 2005 WNGC added former Kicks 101.5 morning and Moby and his syndicated morning show. In January 2008, it was announced that WNGC was sold (along with sister stations WGMG, WPUP, WRFC and WGAU) to Cox Radio in Atlanta.〔"Deals," ''Broadcasting & Cable'', January 28, 2008.〕 On March 7, 2008, WNGC started running ads inviting former Eagle 106.7 listeners to switch to 106.1 WNGC, as WYAY had become an oldies station. In February 2009, WNGC became an affiliate of the Motor Racing Network (MRN) and the Performance Racing Network (PRN), and began carrying coverage of NASCAR Sprint Cup Series racing on weekends. On June 29, 2015, WNGC began simulcasting on WTSH-FM, rebranding as "106.1/107.1 Your Georgia Country". 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「WNGC」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
