[edit] History
WAKG signed on in 1968 as WBTM-FM with easy listening music which would continue after taking the WAKG calls in 1972.
WAKG changed to its current country format in the late 1970s and since then has been nominated several times by the CMA and ACM as "Country Radio Station of the Year."
"Tabernacle Time" with Brother Bob Barber is the country's oldest radio ministry, having started on WBTM in the 1930s.[1]
