History

It was founded in 1965 and signed on one year later. At first a modest operation which operated from 8 am–8 pm daily, it slowly developed into a full-time schedule in 1968 becoming Lima's first 24/7 radio station. Its original studios were located just a block east of its transmitter site on Elida Road (State Route 309). The station was later instrumental in developing Christian television station WTLW in 1976 which came on the air in 1982.

WTGN today

In 1984 a new studio and office facility was opened at the Elida Road transmitter site. It became affiliated with the Moody Broadcasting Network in 1986. A network of low-power translators re-broadcasting WTGN began in 1990.

gollark: It should return the number of my tekw moved.
gollark: Basically. It acts like any other block with an inventory. Probably should have said that initially.
gollark: The chest is beside the turtle, yes? As they are adjacent there is one direction (north, south, west, east, up or down), which would take you from the position of the chest to that of the turtle if you were to walk that way. You can pull items from the turtle by using that direction as the from argument.
gollark: Yes, ish.
gollark: ... no.
