WGLD

WGLD (1440 AM) is a radio station broadcasting a sports talk format. Licensed to Manchester Township, Pennsylvania, USA, the station is owned by Cumulus Media, Inc., through licensee Radio License Holding SRC LLC, and is broadcasting ESPN Radio.

History

WGLD began as WGCB AM, and was owned by John Harden Norris, who founded the station in 1950. In 1964, Norris went on a 15-minute diatribe against journalist Fred Cook. Cook, under Fairness Doctrine rules, requested a chance to rebut, and Norris refused, claiming the doctrine to be unconstitutional. A lawsuit ensued, which Cook won.

The WGLD call signs used to be heard at 104.5 FM in Indianapolis (now WJJK) and at 100.3 FM in Greensboro (now WMKS). It was also in Chicago on 102.7 FM (oldies) during the early 1970s. It was called W-Gold Oak Park - Chicago, and it was managed by Charles Manson for Sonderling Broadcasting. This station became WBMX.

    Wasted Years

    by: Cold

    There's a game life plays
    makes you think you're everything they ever said you were
    Like to take some time
    Clear away everything I planned
    Was it life I betrayed
    for the shape that I'm in
    It's not hard to fail
    it's not easy to win
    did I drink too much
    could I disappear
    and there's nothing that's left but wasted years
    There's nothing left but wasted years
    If I could change my life
    Be a simple kind of man try to do the best I can
    if I could see the signs
    I'd derail every path I could
    now I'm about to die
    won't you clear away from me
    give me strength to fly away
