WGL-FM is an FM radio station located in Fort Wayne, Indiana. The station operates on the FM radio frequency of 102.9 MHz.
Currently, it broadcasts a adult contemporary format, branded as "V-102.9". Most programming comes from the AC Pure format delivered via satellite from Dial Global Local, with the exception of local midday host Trina Neeley (formerly at crosstown Hot AC outlet WMEE) and Delilah's syndicated request-and-dedication show evenings.
On April 1, 2010 WGL-FM changed their format from adult standards (simulcasting WGL 1250 AM) to Hot Adult Contemporary, branded as "V102.9". WGL-AM continues broadcasting the "River" standards format as "1250 The River."
The station signed on as WEXI on September 1, 1965, originally at 103.1fm, and licensed to nearby Roanoke. The WXKE calls on 102.9 FM (previously at 103.9-FM) eventually replaced the WEXI callsign. On February, 2004, WXKE dropped its simulcast with sister WXTW and changed formats to Standards as "The River."
WXKE was purchased, along with its sister stations by the Summit City Radio Group in July, 2004. The standards "River" format drifted over to sister WGL 1250-AM and WXKE relaunched as Classic Hits "Mike-FM." In 2006, the station abandoned its Classic Hits format and flipped formats to a simulcast of sister WGL AM under the call sign WWGL. Within a few months, call letters were changed again to WGL-FM, with the city of license Huntington, Indiana.
