WGRL-FM

WGRL's calls are due to its original moniker as "The Bear," so "GRL" stands for "Growl." In 1997, WGRL moved frequencies from 104.5fm to 93.9fm. After a Thanksgiving Day through Christmas Day stint as "The Christmas Channel" in 2001, WGRL flipped formats to 1980's music as "Retro 93.9." On Monday July 5, 2004, WGRL went all TV theme songs and on Friday July 9, 2004 at 6:45am, WGRL became "93.9, The Song" with a contemporary Christian format. The call letters then became WISG.

WISG-FM

That $1.2 billion sale (which included 33 stations across the United States) closed on May 9, 2006. On Tuesday December 26, 2006, WISG switched formats to Talk and the call letters became WWFT.
