Programming

WTGV features a satellite-fed Classic Hits format from Local Radio Networks [2] consisting of hits from the 1970s, 80s, and 90s. The station also features ABC News at the top of each hour, local news and weather, and play by play coverage of the Detroit Tigers, Detroit Lions and local high school teams.

History

The station began broadcasting in 1971 under the WMIC-FM call sign, simulcasting WMIC-AM 1560 (now 660). WMIC-FM separated programming in 1977, switching to a beautiful music format, and adopted the WTGV ("Thumb's Great Voice") call sign two years later. The beautiful music format was updated to a MOR music mix over the years, and then to mainstream adult contemporary by 2000 until the station changed formats in 2017.
