WPPG - History

History

This station received its original construction permit from the Federal Communications Commission on June 7, 1994. The new station was assigned the call letters WYNI by the FCC on August 5, 1994.

In September 1998, McKissick Enterprises reached an agreement to transfer the construction permit for this station to Brantley Broadcast Associates. The transfer was approved by the FCC on October 29, 1998, and the transaction was consummated on November 11, 1998. The new owners had the FCC change the call letters to WFNU on March 21, 2000. WFNU was branded as "Fun 101" and played a wide variety of music.

More than nine years after the initial construction permit was granted, thanks to an unusual number of extensions and delays, and almost five years after the sale of the still-under construction station, WFNU finally received its license to cover from the FCC on August 18, 2003. Just days before the station's broadcast license was granted, Brantley Broadcast Associates reached an agreement to sell WFNU to Great South RFDC, LLC. The deal was approved by the FCC on October 24, 2003, and the transaction was consummated on November 28, 2003.

This station was assigned new callsign WTID by the FCC on January 26, 2006.

In February 2008, Great South Wireless, LLC, reached an agreement to sell this station to Wolff Broadcasting Company. The deal was approved by the FCC on April 17, 2008, and the transaction was consummated on June 9, 2008. The new owners had the FCC assign the station the current WPPG call letters on June 13, 2008. This change accompanied a short simulcast with WPGG (1470 AM, now known as WEVG) which was then also known as the "Power Pig".
