  1. WGAR 99.5 would go full circle, from the "serious music" to WNCR-progressive to top 40 to country, to WKSW- "Kiss 99.5" and beautiful music to KS 100 country to where they are today back to WGAR.

  2. Before he left for Florida, John Lanagin, who was our PD at the time, had the idea to put the full-service adult contemporary format on our FM sister KSW,which was country at the time..and change the FM call letters to WGAR-FM.

    This was 1983.

    Had we done that, I would probably still be working there.
