History
The station signed on the air in 1984. It previously broadcast a classic hits format as "104.9 WOW FM" until August 3, 2016, a country music format (simulcasting WTRS 102.3 FM Dunnellon, Florida) until February 10, 2014, and before that, a sports radio format as "105 The Game" until May 31, 2013.[1]
On May 23, 2016, at 6 a.m., WOW FM moved over to sister station WXJZ, using a more powerful signal. On August 4, 2016, at midnight, WYGC ended its simulcast of WOW FM with WXJZ by flipping to a talk format branded as "104.9 - The Talk of Gainesville".
In 2017, WYGC flipped to a simulcast of WMFQ "Q92.9" in Ocala after a long period of dead air.
In March 2018, the station flipped to a 1980s-focused classic hits format branded as Y105. The station operated under a local marketing agreement by Circuitwerkes, using air staff from WGVR-LP. In early-November 2019, JVC Broadcasting announced that the station would flip to a hot talk format on November 11, Florida Man Radio, simulcasting WDYZ 660 AM in Orlando.[2][3]
On July 7, 2023, JVC Media announced a sale of WYGC to the Educational Media Foundation.[4]
