History

WGGG began broadcasting in February 1948 on 1230 kHz with 250 watts of power. The station was owned by Alachua County Broadcasting Company.[1] They were originally a popular music station with their offices, studios, transmitter, and antenna-tower located near the Gainesville airport at 1230 Waldo Rd., northeast of downtown Gainesville.

On November 13, 2017, the station will re-brand as The Goat.[2]

gollark: Observe, however, get/setfenv.
