History
WGRC is a Contemporary
Christian Music Radio station with a unique programming format.
WGRC started with a vision from Larry Weidman and his wife
Janet. Their vision was to use radio to promote a daily
Christian lifestyle in the lives of people in the Central
Pennsylvania Region. Salt and Light Media Ministries Inc. (the
organization that owns WGRC) began in 1984 putting the Weidman's
goals into reality. WGRC first signed on the air April 22nd,
1988 at 5:00 AM. Since then, WGRC has grown into seven
transmitting facilities covering 17 counties in Central and
Eastern Pennsylvania.
WGRC is an outreach of
Salt & Light Media Ministries, Inc. of Lewisburg, PA, a
non-denominational and non-profit organization. WGRC is funded
through the support of church, business, and listener
contributions.
WGRC started with
5,000 watts of power at 91.3 FM in Lewisburg, PA and has now
grown to also include: 90.7-FM and 107.1 FM in Williamsport, 90.9 FM in
Lewistown and Mifflintown, 91.9 FM in Pottsville, 101.7 FM in
State College, and 107.7 FM in Bloomsburg. WGRC now covers a
population base of 750,000 people in Central and Eastern
Pennsylvania. While there are numerous choices of traditional
Christian radio in Central Pennsylvania there is only one source
for full-time 24 hour a day Contemporary Christian Music along
with an award winning news coverage team and short,
thought-provoking, feature programs throughout the day. WGRC
provides a format that is truly unique.
WGRC is involved, in
the communities that it serves, through Christian concerts,
Christian roller skating, and promotion of community life and
well-being. WGRC also
promotes national Christian events with regional implications.
