This is a list that I'm so proud to be on. We were recently recognized for all that we do, as a Friend of Brookgreen Gardens and Corporate Partners Holiday Gathering, which was held on Tuesday, December 5th, 2023. Special thanks to Jamie Yearwood, Director of Philanthropy and of course, Lauren Cobb Joseph at Brookgreen Gardens. Thanks for letting me and The Oldies Station, WPIF 101.1 FM & 1470 AM Radio help.

It was a very sad day on September 25th, 2013 in Georgetown, when Front Street experienced a terrible fire. WGTN 1400 AM & 107.5 FM Radio covered this event, just like we always have.

Someone finally made an inexpensive device, that allows us to monitor the temperature at our Beneventum FM Tower site remotely and accurately, including the humidity too.

Today is WGTN's Birthday. Exactly 75 years ago, someone said those magic words for the very fist time "This Is WGTN".
Happy Birthday to the Grand Strands First Station.

On Monday, May 29th, 2023 we plan on participating in observing "The National Moment of Remembrance" at 3 PM on our radio stations. We have invited Captain, Jerry Rovner, U.S. Navy, Retired, to provide the introduction to this event on Memorial Day, as we pause our programming for one minute while playing "TAPS" to remember all those who have died in Military service to the United States.

All Broadcasters are required by law to have an Emergency Alert System and most often, you need to have it connected to an external FM receiver, to rebroadcast that in-coming Alerting Message. Almost always, you really need an external FM Receive Antenna, if you want that signal to sound clear and robust. I've been in this business for a very long time and you can always feel assured, my repeating messages are always crystal clear on my stations. I was listening to a Charleston television station recently and the weekly late night test audio sounded awful. as it usually does. Obviously, someone apparently could care less. Fortunately, I don't own that station and that person, that was responsible for that static need not worry, that persons job remains secured.

This June 2023 will be 25 Years for me as owner and operator of WGTN and it will be 75 years since WGTN has been on the air. It seems just like yesterday, that Tad Fogel asked me if I wanted to work the 12 Midnight to 6 AM slot on 98 ROCK WGMB, those were the good days.
