History


WGCB was first licensed on December 8, 1950. It originally was licensed to Red Lion, Pennsylvania. It broadcast a Christian radio format and was owned by Red Lion Broadcasting.
John Harden Norris was the station's first manager.
In 1964, Norris went on a fifteen-minute diatribe against journalist Fred Cook. Cook, under Fairness Doctrine rules, requested a chance to rebut, and Norris refused, claiming the doctrine to be unconstitutional. A lawsuit (Red Lion Broadcasting Co. v. FCC) ensued, which Cook won.

Cumulus Media took control of the station after its purchase of Susquehanna Radio Corporation in 2006. Following the purchase, Cumulus renamed the corporation Radio License Holding SRC, LLC.
Cumulus sold the station to Major Keystone LLC on September 24, 2021.

On January 17, 2022, WGLD changed its format from sports to Spanish CHR, branded as "Mega 107.1" and was sold to VP Broadcasting, along with its translator, W296EA, and sister station WTKZ.
