WGAW 80 Years

Greater Gardner Radio Station Achieving Major Milestone

Since taking over WGAW over a decade ago, Owner, Newsman, and Host Steve Wendell has made quality programming a priority. During the past several months, Wendell has been working on starting off the 80^th year with a bang and it appears he has achieved that goal many times over. The station owner recently contracted with CBS to provide the news at the top of the hour, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

The roster of weekday talk show hosts has been updated to include the popular Grace Curley at noon, Scott Jennings at 2pm, and Hugh Hewitt at 3pm. The AUDIO of “60 Minutes” runs Sundays at 7pm WGAW airs on AM 1340, 98.1 FM, and streams worldwide.

WGAW went on the air in 1946 just after World War II and in 2026 achieves 80 years on the air. For the complete program roster visit the WGAW website, CLICK HERE.
