WERG
On March 8,2014, WERG was presented the Abraham & Borst Award as "Best College Station in the Nation" at the 74th annual Intercollegiate Broadcasting System conference in New York City.
90.5 WERG is an alternative music formatted college radio station in Erie, Pennsylvania. The station is owned by Gannon University. Its transmitter is located in Summit Township.
History
On December 1, 1972 at 6pm, WERG signed on at 89.1 FM with an effective radiated power of 10 watts. Gannon University students operate WERG during the week; the station maintains broadcast operations over the weekends with the help of community volunteers who run alternative programming for the Erie community. One of these shows, Super Soul Saturday, has become an institution in Erie radio and an integral part of WERG’s weekend programming schedule.
Major technical upgrades came in 1980 when WTAE-FM radio in Pittsburgh, PA donated a 1949 Westinghouse FM-3 transmitter to Gannon. This enabled WERG to go to 3,000 watts, giving the radio station a strong signal throughout the City of Erie. The new Shively antenna was mounted on a tower atop Nash Library, and WERG moved up the dial to 89.9-FM.

Breaking Up With God
by: ArkAooo-ooooh
Aooo-ooooh
Thought I headed straight
Thought I had it waiting for me
Thought it was my fate
I was only waiting for the sky to fall down
The sword of Damocles
Or at least I thought it was
Had me on my knees
That's when I saw it had the shape of a cross
Aooo-ooooh
I'm ready to give it up (up up up up up up..)
Aooo-ooooh
I heard the call, but I won't follow
'Cause now I'm breaking up with God
I've had it with shame, I've had it with sorrow
Now I'm breaking up with God
And the devil too
Now I wanna dance the night away
Aoooo
Reach my heaven alive
A world that's black and white
Has evil haunting every corner
Demons in the night
And no love, no love for the one who ain't right
Aooo-ooooh
I heard the call, but I won't follow
'Cause now I'm breaking up with God
I've had it with shame, I've had it with sorrow
Now I'm breaking up with God
And the Devil too
Now I wanna dance the night away
Aoooo
Reach my heaven alive
Aaaah aaah aaah
Aaaah aaah aaah
(We'll lead you home...)
Aooo-ooooh
I heard the call, but I won't follow
'Cause now I'm breaking up with God
I've had it with shame, I've had it with sorrow
Now I'm breaking up with God
I heard their call, but I won't follow
'Cause now I'm breaking up with God
I've had it with shame, I've had it with sorrow
Now I'm breaking up with God
And the Devil too
Now I wanna dance the night away
Aoooo
Reach my heaven alive
Aoooo
Now I wanna touch you right away
Aoooo, oooh
Find my own heaven alive
Aooo-ooooh
