WNGM, Hiawassee (New Station)

[eacalhoun]

I noticed that the new station in Hiawassee was granted callsign WNGM on Jan 12.
Anyone know the status of this station? I believe it is or will be on 1230AM.

Gil and Bill Brown are the licensees. I'm sure Gil can answer all your questions.

Although I'm not in the 2mV/m contour (or even the .00002. Actually, I've got a 1230 in the building), It'd be nice if the BGRS (anybody know what I'm talkin' about?) returned to the airwaves.

It was quite nostalgic to hear Gil's voice, voice-tracking the classic country format, during the 1690 start-up.

WNGM used to be the call sign on TV channel 34 in Athens, before the station moved into Atlanta as "Hotlanta 34" WHOT, and later Univision WUVG.

As far as I know, WNGM stood for "Wonderful North Georgia Mountains".
