Today I'm giving a tour of WGGH radio station in Marion, Illinois. The station started on Sept 24th, 1949 by George Dodd and Harley Grisham. Originally the station featured a big band format, and operated on 500 watts. In 49, it was the largest market radio south of Springfield Illinois. In 1978 the station because an inspirational Christian station broadcasting with 5000 watts creating a strong signal for listeners. In 1992 it was sold to Johnny and Elaine Gomez, after 15 years it was then sold in 2007 to Jimmy Fishback who currently owns it today. WGGH has been bringing music and news to listeners across six states, Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, Tennessee, Missouri, and Arkansas. WGGH is one the oldest Radio stations that is still in operation today. Click that subscribe button and let me know your favorite part below!
