WGBT, also know as La Preciosa 94.5, is a Regional Mexican outlet serving the Piedmont Triad area, covering the Greensboro-Winston Salem-High Point metropolitan area. The Clear Channel Communications station, whose COL is Eden, North Carolina, broadcasts at 94.5 MHz. Its transmitter is located in Madison, North Carolina.
[edit] History
The station was originally Country outlet WHSL (Whistle 100.3) until 2001 when it swapped signals with WXRA. After the flip they switched formats to Classic Country, but the ratings weren't there and in 2003 flipped to a Rhythmic Top 40 format.
On Thursday, February 16th, 2006, WGBT switched to an all-Spanish language format, playing hit music from the 70s, 80s and 90s. As such, WGBT became The Triad's first FM Spanish-language radio station (the 2nd in North Carolina). This will make the fourth distinctly-different radio format in five years to be broadcast on the 94.5 frequency in the Greensboro market.
