History:

1420 was originally WRBL (Wee-Rebel Radio), from which WRBL TV 3 and WRBL FM 102.9 sprang. Has always been the market's news authority. The station was a mixture of MoR music, personality, sports and local/network news. The music was phased out with the advent of FM. Became WRCG (Radio Columbus Georgia) when the TV and radio went their seperate ways.
