WTGE

[1][2] Along with four sister stations, its studios and offices are at the Guaranty Group building on Government Street east of downtown Baton Rouge.

WTGE's transmitter is located near the Mississippi River in Baton Rouge, south of Louisiana State University.

Winstanley sold WQXY in 1970 to Allison Kolb CEO / Gulf Union Corporation and moved his broadcasting enterprises to Florida.

The stations shared the top floor of the building with the bank's Board Room, the chambers of Judge Alvin Rubin of the Fourth Circuit U.S. Court of Appeals and a federal agency office.

In 1984, WQXY and sister station AM 910 WLCS (now silent) were acquired by the Oppenheimer Broadcast Group of Austin, Texas.

That put it in competition with longtime Baton Rouge country outlet WYNK-FM, just one position up the FM dial at 101.5 MHz.

In 2003, WYPY became the Baton Rouge affiliate for the Big D and Bubba Show, previously heard in morning drive time on competitor WYNK-FM.

In late August 2013, 104.9 returned to its simulcast with 104.5 for a southern portion of Baton Rouge and areas for ESPN radio while 104.5 is the northern side.
