On September 1, 1982 WLGC radio debuted at 105.5 FM, playing "The City of
New Orleans" by Arlo Guthrie. The song kicked off not only a new radio station,
but also a new format: A Little Bit Country, A Little Bit Rock. This hybrid
programming was the brainchild of WLGC Vice-President/General Manager
Robert Scheibly, who had commissioned a research project to determine viable
formats for the fledgling station. Scheibly left the program director's position at
WKEE/WHTN to take on the challenge of creating a new radio station focusing
on local community needs.
In addition to the unique music mix, WLGC's early years offered a wide variety of
programming tailored specifically to Greenup County, including high school
sports and a daily "good news" public service newscast.
