History

WGET first aired on August 27, 1950. Robert Smith of New Oxford, PA was the announcer who put WGET on-the-air. Twenty years later he and Lester M. Blair of Gettysburg, PA an engineer/announcer were the only two people still working for WGET on August 27, 1970.

The station signed-on with power of 250 watts. As an aside, Walter Lane, photographer and Ham Radio Operator W3KGN in town had a transmitter that produced 275 watts. In March 1961 Judge W.C. Sheeley who had made the principal address at the opening ceremony pressed a button in the press room of the Hotel Gettysburg which converted WGET from a 250 watt to 1,000 watts AM station and a 10,000 watt FM station. At one time using a single tower, there are now has three AM towers and a 500-foot FM tower.[1]

In January 1951, WGET affiliated with the short-lived Progressive Broadcasting System radio network.[2] From the 1960s to the 1980s, WGET and later WGET-FM were affiliated with the Mutual Broadcasting System.[3]
