Here are other entries about WRBL in Columbus, Georgia, today’s WRCG-AM.

WENC launched in 1932 from Americus, Georgia.  It moved to Albany, Georgia, in 1934 and changed its call letters to WGPC.  WGPC launched an FM sister station in the 1960s (today’s WKAK-FM).

It’s hard to find much about the station’s history.  WGPC-AM was carrying a sports format when a January 2017 storm destroyed its tower, which had been in use since 1940. The damage knocked WGPC-AM off the air and owner Cumulus Media surrendered the license, WALB-TV reported.  According to the station:

The likelihood that another operator would want to apply for, and then operate, a low-power AM station, in a small radio market, is practically nil.

Angelus Temple was the home of Los Angeles station KFSG, which went on the air in 1924 and continued on various frequencies until signing off in 2003.

Jim Hilliker has written an extensive history of the KFSG’s early years and legacy, featuring the female Pentecostal evangelist who signed it on, a kidnapping scandal and a deadly drug overdose.

The KFSG call letters now belong to a Roseville, California, AM station, which airs brokered programming.

As of 2017, Angelus Temple is a Pentecostal megachurch.
