WSGL is a Class C2 station. The transmitter tower is on Country Road off Santa Barbara Boulevard in South Naples.

History

The station first received its construction permit from the Federal Communications Commission in 1978. It took two years to build the station. It signed on the air on May 10, 1980. WSGL broadcast on 97.7 MHz as country music station "FM 98 WSGL".

The station moved its new frequency to 103.1 in 1982, retaining the country format until 1986. The former 97.7 frequency is now home to WTLQ-FM in the Fort Myers radio market. WSGL then changed its format to adult contemporary as "Class 103" in early November 1986.

In September 1992, the station briefly returned to its former country format as "Hot Country 103", but that did not last long as it switched back to adult contemporary in April 1993.

In 1999, WSGL was granted a power increase to 20,000 watts. It moved to its new frequency at 104.7 with the new name "Mix 104.7".
