Froggy (brand)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Froggy is a brand name used for a variety of radio stations in numerous broadcast markets in the United States, most of which are country music formatted stations. Although the frog logo is shared among these stations, most of these radio stations are not associated with each other. That being said, the "Froggy" branding is particularly common among country stations currently or formerly owned by Forever Broadcasting.
