History

WGAI went through many "musical" formats with Top 40 in the 1960s and early 1970s, Adult Contemporary in the late 1970s, Country in the mid-1980s, and Adult Contemporary again in the late 1980s.

Joy Smith, daughter of famous DJ Bob "Wolfman Jack" Smith, was briefly an afternoon DJ at WGAI in 1989 as "Joy Jack".

In 2015 WGAI was purchased by George Gregory. The format is Gospel and Christian Talk.
