WGGE (95.1 FM, "Froggy 95") is a radio station broadcasting a country music format. Licensed to Elizabeth, West Virginia, United States, it serves the Parkersburg–Marietta area. The station is currently owned by Seven Mountains Media.
History
[edit]Throughout much of the 1980s, WXIL had a Top 40 music format, but unlike most CHR stations at the time, WXIL's format focused more towards rock and rhythmic titles, and was also altered in surveys. On June 26, 2024, WXIL switched frequencies with WGGE, moving to 99.1. As a result, WXIL dropped its CHR format and flipped to a classic hits format.[2]
