Programming
105-1 WNGA’s format is first and foremost focused
entirely on the local area. The music is Country with a modern slant
during the day and a traditional slant during the evening and weekend.
From 6 a.m. until 6 p.m. Monday-Saturday, WNGA airs music, concentrating
on big Country hits of the past couple of years. Country is also aired
on Sundays starting at noon. From 6 p.m. until 6 a.m., 105-1 WNGA is the only radio station in the area that airs Classic
Country music - major hits of the 1970s and 1980s, with selected hits of
the 1960s plus a few from the 1950s.
While this unique Country music mix is unlike any other
station in the area, it’s carefully researched to appeal to the largest
segment of population in the WNGA coverage area.
