History

The 1450 frequency in Atlantic City first hit the airwaves in 1940 with its original call letters of WFPG, which stood for "World's Famous Play Ground." For several decades, WFPG aired a full service format, which included a mixture of adult standards, big band, and easy listening music, from studios on the world famous Steel Pier on the Atlantic City boardwalk.
