WGTY (107.7 FM, "Froggy 107.7") is a country music formatted radio station. Owned by Forever Media, through licensee FM Radio Licenses, LLC, it is licensed to Gettysburg, Pennsylvania, serving Adams County and York County in Pennsylvania.^[2] It was formerly called "Great Country 107.7".

History

WGET-FM was an automated beautiful music station for many years, a forgotten companion to the full-service WGET (1320 AM). The call sign was changed to WGTY in 1982. In early 1984, Rick McCauslin, then a sales rep for WGET/WGTY was promoted to general manager, replacing the long-time GM, Richard Selby. Rick's plan was to investigate the possibility of changing WGTY to a live country station, as the York–Adams County area only had one country station serving it, Z-107, broadcasting out of the Harrisburg area. Rick hired Wally Daniels as the program director for both stations, tasking him with building the country station.

The station signed off at midnight in those days. Dave Cannon was the music director and helped to establish WGTY's country library. On November 11, 1984, at 6 a.m., WGTY officially began its new life as "Country FM 108".

WGTY was sold to Forever Media's FM Radio Licenses, LLC effective December 1, 2015, at a purchase price of $4.25 million, and on January 4, 2016, the station's branding was changed to "Froggy 107.7".
