WKGC-FM

WKGC Public Media (90.7 FM) is a radio station licensed to Panama City, Florida, United States.

[2] WKGC-FM was the brainchild of two Gulf Coast students, Charles Wooten and Ron Johnson, who concocted the idea in 1968.

With this funding, the current crew was able to hire full-time professional staff, which allowed more variety in programming and the creation of new educational experiences for students.

In 1978, the station was granted a power increase to 28,500 watts, with its reach reportedly spanning from Pensacola to Apalachicola, as well as over the Alabama state line.

That same year, the Florida Legislature, among other funding agencies, granted WKGC-FM $350,000 for new facilities, marking the first time the station would operate from a real studio.
