Beginnings

Licensed to Gladwin, Michigan, it first began broadcasting on February 7, 1979 under the call sign WGMM, which stood for "Gladwin's Music Machine".

The station's original format was adult contemporary music, which continued until the switch to country in the early 1990s (well after the calls changed to WGDN-FM).
