The station is owned by New Age Communications, Ltd.[1][2] WGBR's format is classic hits. HistoryWGBR went on the air in 1939 as a 250 watt AM radio station in Goldsboro, North Carolina broadcasting on 1370 AM, one of a few radio stations in eastern North Carolina. The frequency changed to 1400 AM in 1941 and to its current frequency of 1150 AM in the 1950s. Its last move increased the power to 5,000 watts daytime.[3]Johnny Grant began his career at WGBR when it signed on.[4] Carl Kassell worked as a DJ there on two separate stints in the 1950s, before eventually moving to Washington, DC to focus on news reporting and a lengthy career with NPR.[5]Johnny Hood and Frank Taylor were DJs at WGBR before becoming DJs at North Carolina's 50,000 watt flagsip station, WPTF in Raleigh. Vassie Balkum, a voice associated many years with WGBR, was inducted into the North Carolina Association of Broadcasters in 2004.[6] Curtis Media Group purchased WGBR in 1989 alongside sister station WEQR-FM.[7]Prior to 2015, WGBR operated a translator at 98.3 FM that simulcast the news-talk format before switching to the Jack FM format on WSSG.[8] 98.3 went back to WGBR when WSSG operated its on translator on 92.7 a year later. On June 12, 2017 WGBR changed their format from news/talk to classic hits, closely resembling sister station WELS-FM in Kinston.[9] Previous logoReferences1. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.fcc.gov/fcc-bin/fmq?call=WGBR |title=WGBR Facility Record |work=United States Federal Communications Commission, audio division }} 2. ^{{cite web|url=http://www1.arbitron.com/sip/displaySip.do?surveyID=SU08&band=fm&callLetter=WGBR|title=WGBR Station Information Profile|publisher=Arbitron}} 3. ^http://www.geocities.ws/rduhistory/wgbr.html 4. ^http://www.geocities.ws/rduhistory/wgbr.html 5. ^https://www.npr.org/2014/05/16/312817863/ive-enjoyed-every-minute-of-it-carl-kasell-on-his-60-years-in-radio 6. ^http://www.goheels.com/ViewArticle.dbml?DB_OEM_ID=3350&ATCLID=205472460 7. ^http://www.geocities.ws/rduhistory/wgbr.html 8. ^{{cite web|url=https://radioinsight.com/blog/headlines/94252/jack-fm-launches-in-goldsboro-nc/|title=Jack-FM Launches In Goldsboro, NC|last=Venta|first=Lance|publisher=radioinsight|date=August 26, 2015|accessdate=August 28, 2015}} 9. ^[https://radioinsight.com/headlines/118319/wgbr-flips-classic-hits/ WGBR Flips to Classic Hits] Radioinsight - June 12, 2017 External links{{AM station data|WGBR}}
