History Of WGAM
WGAM-AM began operations in 1980 as WTRS. In 1980 WTRS-AM switched to "Country and Western" as a simulcast of WTRS-FM 102.3 . This format lasted for three years until it was decided overnight that the FM should become "Stereo Country". The AM became "The Unforgettable AM" , playing a Big Bands format. This lasted until the WTRS-FM’s "country" format on both stations a year later. The new owner, Asterisk Communications, had no more interest in operating WTRS-AM, and the license was mailed back to the FCC. WTRS-AM ceased operations on June 2, 1992 and the frequency 920 kHz was deleted from Dunnellon. The frequency was deleted by the FCC. Read Marc Tyll's tribute here In Memory
