History
The station signed on the air on May 10, 1952. Its original call sign was WAUG.[2] It was a daytimer station, required to go off the air at night. The following year, it was joined by a sister station, WAUG-FM at 105.7 MHz, now WLUB. The two stations were owned by the Garden City Broadcasting Company, with studios in the Bon Air Hotel.
It has been a Christian radio station since the early 1970s. The station also became an affiliate of the ABC Information Network in the 1970s.[3]
In 1978, the station's call letters became WHGI, in 1985 the call sign switched to WIGL and in 1986, to the current WFAM.
