Excerpt: WRCG (1420 AM) is a oldies formatted radio station in Columbus, Georgia. WRCG carries programming such as Scott Shannon's True Oldies Channel and Mike Harvey. WRCG previously held the call letters WRBL. As WRBL, the station first operated on the frequency of 1200 before being reassigned in the early 1940s to 1230 and finally to 1420. As of early 2010, the station simulcasts on 106.9 FM. The station is an affiliate of the Atlanta Braves radio network. WRCG was originally WRBL (Wee-Rebel Radio), from which WRBL TV 3 and WRBL FM 102.9 sprang. The station was a mixture of MoR music, personality, sports and local/network news. The music was phased out with the advent of FM radio. It became WRCG (Radio Columbus Georgia) when the TV and radio went their separate ways. In December 2002, McClure Broadcasting, Inc., (Chuck McClure Jr., president) reached an agreement to sell this station to Archway Broadcasting Group (Al Vicente, president/CEO). This was part of a four-station deal, along with WRLD-FM, WCGQ, and WKCN, for a reported combined sale price of $15 million. At the time of the sale, WRCG carried a news/talk radio format. On July 31, 2008, local investment group PMB Broadcasting LLC (headed up by Jim Martin) purchased this station along with Columbus-area sister stations WRLD-FM, WCGQ, and WKCN from Archway Broadcasting Group LLC for a reported sale price of $7.2 million. At the time of the sale, the station carried a news/talk radio format. The deal was approved by the FCC on October 1, 2008. On Thursday, April 1, 2010 WRCG flipped formats from News/Talk to Oldies. ...More: http: //booksllc.net/?id=4551757
