History

The station was assigned the call letters as WZYB on May 7, 1992. On September 1, 1993, the station changed its call sign to WNGX;[2] it signed on in August 1994.[3] On July 13, 1998, it became WNGN.[2]

In 2009, WNGN announced that two new affiliated stations would go on the air: WNGB (91.3 FM) in Petersham, Massachusetts, and WNGF (89.9 FM) in Swanton, Vermont.[4] In August 2013, Northeast Gospel Broadcasting reached a deal to sell WNGF to Christian Ministries.[5]
