[3] One of WGGO's most notable alumni is CBS weatherman Ira Joe Fisher, who worked at the station for his first job in 1963.
[4] In the late 1970s/early 1980s, WGGO's original programming included "Tradio on the Radio" and a top 25 countdown show called "The Most Alive 25".
During this time period, one of the evening DJs went by the moniker "Johnny B. Goode", and would end each broadcast day by playing the Chuck Berry hit before sign-off.
Pembrook Pines changed the format to sports radio along with sister stations WELM in Elmira and WPIE in Ithaca.
Sound Communications was slated to buy what is left of Pembrook Pines in 2014, and changed the format to adult standards in late 2013 (at the time simulcasting WEHH in Elmira) upon the assumption of a local marketing agreement, but withdrew its bid days before it was to close because of cross-ownership objections.
According to property records on file at Cattaraugus County, Sound Communications only purchased WGGO's license; previous owner Michael Washington reacquired the transmitter site, former studio and tower in the Pembrook Pines bankruptcy in 2015.
All of the sports programming on the station (at the time this consisted of Buffalo Bisons baseball and a package of Allegany-Limestone Central School athletics) continued unaffected.
In late 2019, Waypoint struck an agreement to turn all of its broadcast assets, including the WGGO license, to Standard Media.
One month afterward, when Seven Mountains Media announced it would acquire Waypoint's New York assets, WGGO was included among the licenses that would be donated to Family Life Network, along with AM 820 in Elmira; as Family Life does not operate AM stations, has historically declined to purchase such stations (it declined to purchase WBVG or WFBL when involved in a similar swap in 2015), and has so far not applied to change the station's call sign, the fate of WGGO after the swap is unknown, with industry speculation that WGGO and its Elmira counterpart may go silent again.
