WNGC-FM
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
WNGC FM ("North Georgia Country," 106.1 MHz) is a radio station in Atlanta that plays country music. The station and callsign began in the late 1960's on 95.5, which was later sold by Clarke Broadcasting (apparently named for Clarke County, where it was based) to Cox Radio and became WBTS FM ("95-5 the Beat"). (Until recently, that station still had Athens, Georgia in Clarke County as its city of license, but moved west to the Barrow/Gwinnett county line to cover metro Atlanta when it was sold. Its city of license is now Doraville, Georgia.) WNGC is licensed to Toccoa, nearly into upstate South Carolina, so coverage to the south and west of Atlanta is marginal to poor. The owners tried in 2001 to get the FCC to change the allotment to Lawrenceville or Sugar Hill in Gwinnett County in order to move the station directly into the metro area, but the request was set aside. The licensee is Southern Broadcasting of Pensacola, apparently based in Pensacola, Florida but giving an address of Bogart, Georgia. The callsign, when announced, is 106.1 WNGC, Toccoa/Athens/Gainesville.
