}}WRGG-LP is a Full-Service and Oldies broadcast radio station licensed to Greencastle, Pennsylvania, serving Greencastle, Antrim Township, and southern Franklin County in Pennsylvania. WRGG-LP is owned and operated by the Greencastle-Antrim Education Foundation.[5]

History

The Greencastle-Antrim Education Foundation filed its application for a construction permit with the Federal Communications Commission (FCC), to begin the process of building WRGG-LP, on February 19, 2014.[6] A significant grant from The Shockey Family Foundation allowed the station to quickly begin construction. A "license to cover" was granted by the FCC on June 7, 2016, allowing WRGG-LP to begin broadcasting.[7] The station broadcast for the first time on June 14, 2016.[1] Greencastle Mayor Robert E. Eberly was featured on the station's first day of programming, "congratulat[ing] the radio committee and others involved in the station's startup".[1]

Many aspects of WRGG-LP come from former Greencastle station WKSL, now WQCM.[10][11] The original idea for a community radio station came from the former town radio station WKSL.[10] WKSL carried a "good companion" format, which featured Country Music and Christian radio shows.[10] The transmitting antenna for WRGG-LP was placed on the former broadcast tower of WKSL.[14] Ben Thomas, Sr., the father of WRGG-LP committee member and co-founder Ben Thomas, Jr., founded WKSL in 1969.[14] Fellow committee members and co-founders Wade Burkholder, who was one of the original staff members of WKSL, and Dr. C. Gregory Hoover, retired Superintendent of Schools for the Greencastle-Antrim School District, trace their radio roots to WKSL.[10]

Programming

The station features "hyperlocal" news, sports, community events and information from a team of volunteers.[1][18] Along with the emphasis on news, sports and information, an Oldies format, with music from the 1950s, 60s and 70's is featured. [18] The station also features "speciality shows" after 6:00 pm which includes locally produced programs featuring a wide variety of music and talk shows.

Location

The studios of WRGG-LP, located at 113 South Carlisle Street in Greencastle, were donated to the Greencastle-Antrim Education Foundation by committee member and co-founder Wade Burkholder and his wife Linda.[10]
