What happened to the FM of 1470 ?

93.3 from Evergreen was moved to the Ft. Walton/Destin market. Must've been around 2005.

Sporting News Radio, right? Is there any local programming?

 

[WPGG]

local programming is coming within the next 2 weeks

I heard 1470 briefly en route up I-65 last Friday ... doubted they were on full power, as they only cut through the background ignition noise for a few minutes/miles before and after the Evergreen exits.

if you saw the forrest around and very near to their tower you would understand why it wasn't coming in too good

If you go to WPGG's profile page on my website, there are links to Google Street Views of both the tower and the studio, such that it is.

The street view of the tower doesn't do it justice, it is definitely "up in the woods" a bit, even though it's right off the road.

I drove through E-green twice on trips this weekend--I tuned in on Friday afternoon and late Saturday night/early Sunday morning for updates on The Masters. Talk about being on flea power, each time I couldn't get a reliably clear signal until I was downtown.

I remember 1470 being quite listenable on car radios in Monroe County back in the day. I hope that's not the full 1000 watts WPGG is licensed for, I'd love having a local sports radio choice (sans Finebaum) to listen to. Might a translator be in the works?
