WPGI

WPGI (100.9 FM) is a radio station broadcasting a country music format. Licensed to Horseheads, New York, USA, the station serves the Elmira-Corning area. The station is currently owned by Community Broadcasters, LLC, and features programming from ABC Radio, Premiere Radio Networks and Jones Radio Network.

WPGI is roughly modeled after sister station WPIG in Olean. Like WPIG, WPGI's morning show is known as "The Morning Pigpen" (though it has its own local host, Sandy Swan), and the two stations have some syndicated programming in common. Afternoons are with longtime market veteran "Chris P. Bacon".

The station originated in 1970, with call letters WQIX, with a modern country format. Studios in Horseheads, NY, shared with sister AM WIQT, and transmitter on Prospect Hill north of the village. Construction was by Chief Engineer C Michael Scullin with John Mulligan. It was owned then by retailer Manny Panosian and John Arikian, dba Chemung County Radio. Program Director was David G Ridenour and General Manager Bob Johnson. Along with the rest of Backyard Broadcasting's New York assets, the station was sold to Community Broadcasters, LLC effective August 26, 2013, at a price of $3.6 million.

Living On Your Own

by: Budgie

When you're living on your own
And things around you start to go
You're on your own, well baby you're on your own
When I see it in your smile
I can tell it ain't your style
You're on your own, well baby you're on your own
You're alone if you don't know it
And pretty soon it takes it's toll
Maybe I should ask you why
You need everything
But you ain't got it, 'cause you're living on your own
One day soon this will be gone
And the love of life it could be
But 'til then you'll look at me
Then you'll feel it grow
And you'll always know
You ain't got it living on your own
And when I see you look at me
And I can tell how it will be
You're on your own well baby you're on your own
I can tell the way you smile
And just you wait and in a while
