AM History Profile: WTCG

History:

WTCG signed on in 1984 as Andalusia's third AM station. Put on the air by Bill Hoisington, it had a MOR (middle of the road) format.  The station went off the air in 1988, and was bought out. It came on the air a few months later in C-QUAM stereo with the Stardust satellite music format. It was sold again in 1991, and later became a news/talk station. It went dark again shortly thereafter. It came back on the air again with another new owner, this time with a R&B/jazz type format. It went dark (yet again) a short time later.  As a side note, WTCG used to be the calls of channel 17 in Atlanta, now known 'round the country as WTBS.
