Sports
Froggy 103.7 is the home to the Murray State University Racers football and basketball. In May 2015 MSU announced their renewal of their contract with WFGS through the 2019-2020 seasons for both football and basketball. Although the press release had not been updated since 2007, as noted by the incorrect call letters of WFGE.
The station, for a short time, was an affiliate for Tennessee Titans football. Beginning in the fall of 2008 the station also started airing the "Cross Town Classic" between Murray High School and Calloway County High School.
In 2008 the station became even more involved in the local communities by launching Froggyland Sports. The site offers an in depth look at high school sports in much of the broadcast air, known as "Froggyland". Froggyland Sports is updated by Travis Turner who hosts his sports talk show on brother station WBZB ESPN The Office. WFGS, WNBS, & WBZB all act as the "voice" of Murray High School Sports and Calloway County Basketball. Games are aired on all three stations as well as on the internet at Froggylandsports.Com.
History
The station went on the air as WAAW in 1977, owned by Murray Broadcasting Company. Its format was album oriented rock. In 1988, the station was sold to Jackson Purchase Broadcasting, which changed the call to WBLN ("The Blend") and made the format adult contemporary. After being sold to Forever Communications, 103.7 became a country station with the call sign WFGE on 1997-03-17. In July 2008, the owner elected to move the Murray station's call sign to another station with the Froggy branding based in Pennsylvania. The old WFGE then became WFGS.
