History

WGCM-FM signed on September 14, 1969. WGCM-FM had a country format in the early-to-mid-1980s. In September 1988, the call sign was changed to WTKI-FM and the format was changed to album-oriented rock (AOR) as "TK 102". In late 1989, the station became "Coast 102" when the format was flipped to 1950s-1970s oldies, and eventually "Greatest Hits of All Time" (1960s-1980s pop), its current format. The call sign was changed back to WGCM-FM in January 1990.
