WGNA-FM (107.7 MHz) is a commercial radio station licensed to Albany, New York, and serving the Capital District.

[2] Going against established country station WOKO, WGNA became a success, even though not all radios could receive FM signals in that era.

In 1988, then-WGNA owner Barnstable Broadcasting purchased WOKO and turned it into an AM simulcast of WGNA (with the FM taking the WGNA-FM call sign as a result).

On April 13, 1994, Barnstable sold WGNA to the radio group headed by TV host Merv Griffin.

During Brindle's 10-year tenure at WGNA, the station strengthened its reputation within the country music industry and garnered several CMA awards and nominations.

WGNA has enjoyed a fairly stable air staff, as most of WGNA's on-air talent have been a part of the Country 107.7 team for more than 10 years, including: Notable departures from the on-air staff include: Recent additions to the on-air staff include: At the time of its launch, WGNA was one of the first FM country music stations in the Northeast and with its powerful signal was able to reach and even rate in markets far from the Capital District where country music was either nonexistent or on low-power AM stations.

As Baby Boomers who grew up with Rock and Pop in the Northeast moved into their mid-30s and early 40s, bought homes in the suburbs and raised families, they discovered that they could relate to the stories told in country music.

Country music stations in Glens Falls, Utica, the Hudson Valley and even Springfield, Massachusetts, owe some debt to WGNA's success and/or influence in those areas.

WGNA-FM has been the #1 station (12+, 25-54 adults) in most ratings trends and books in the Albany market though WGY, WFLY, WRVE, WPYX and WYJB have all unseated WGNA from this position on various occasions.
