[edit] History
92.3 FM signed on in mid-1992 as WAFJ, as a simulcast of Bible Broadcasting Network's 100.9 WYFA/Waynesboro. In June, 1994, both stations was sold and switched to a Urban Contemporary format as "92.3/100.9 The Bomb" with 92.3 picking up the WAEG call letters.
Radio One acquired the simulcast in 2001 and switched it to CHR, branding it as "92.3/100.9 The Beat". By 2002, the station simulcast was broken off, causing 100.9 to drop from the air. Within a year, 92.3 switched formats to Modern Rock, while 100.9 was launched as WTHB-FM, a gospel station.
In August of 2007, Perry Broadcasting acquired Radio One's cluster of Augusta stations. Effective immediately, WAEG's format was changed again to Smooth Jazz. Augusta now doesn't currently have a Modern Rock station, except for the wide variety of rock that plays on WCHZ 95.1, or the very selective few songs that play on WHHD 98.3.
