WGEV was a college radio station that was owned by Geneva College in Beaver Falls, Pennsylvania. The station began broadcasting on November 15, 1965 at 12:30 pm. The station used to broadcast on 88.3 FM, but its license was canceled in September 2007. [1] A class D station, WGEV applied for a power upgrade and move to class A status in 1989 but that move was rejected in July 1989 as it would have caused significant interference with the broadcast signal of WYSU in Youngstown, Ohio.
