History
The station signed on for the first time in 1958 as WGCB-FM[3] with a christian radio format. Red Lion Broadcasting owned the station.
In 1969, Red Lion Broadcasting lost a landmark First Amendment case (Red Lion Broadcasting Co. v. FCC), after the station refused to grant free on-air time for a journalist to rebutt the claims made against him by an on-air evangelist.[4]
Cumulus Media took control of the station after its purchase of Susquehanna Radio Corporation in 2006.[5] Following the purchase, Cumulus renamed the corporation Radio License Holding SRC, LLC.
