[edit] History

WFGF was founded in August of 1993 as WYRX "93 Rocks"(later 93-X and briefly as WFRY) a sister to WZOQ at first with an album-oriented rock format and transmits with 3,000 watts E.R.P. Its studios were shared with WZOQ in a building which previously housed a KFC restaurant on Cable Road in Lima. Its transmiter is located on Baty Rd. When Forever Broadcasting purchased the former WCIT-AM and WLSR-FM,the studios were moved up the street into the location of the AM/FM combo now known respectively as WZOQ-AM and WEGE-FM. The call letter and format switch to WFGF "Froggy 93" took place in March of 1998.
