History

102.7 signed on in 1990 as WAJY with an Adult Standards format as "Joy 102.7". In 2004, it became Contemporary Christian under the Joy 102.7 moniker for a brief time before being sold to Beasley Broadcasting, who moved WGOR's oldies format from 93.9 FM to 102.7 FM in October, 2004, becoming "Oldies 102.7".

On October 27, 2006, WGOR-FM switched to Christmas music for the season as "Santa 102.7." The station changed formats on December 26 of that year, revealing its Southern Gospel format under the WGUS-FM call letters.

This was not the first time that the WGUS-FM call letters were used in the Augusta market. Before the 1990s, the WGUS-FM call letters were on 102.3 FM (now WIBL).

The station is owned by the Beasley Broadcast Group, Inc., through licensee Beasley Media Group, LLC.

gollark: What did you find out? I'm unclear on how trustworthy introspection actually is.
gollark: People do talk about studies saying it's good in some way, but I forgot what ways and also people are very good at misinterpreting these things in support of whatever they want.
gollark: I have never seriously tried it. It was too boring to continue for a substantial amount of time.
