History

[edit]

104.1 MHz Jackson

[edit]

The station was formerly Eagle 104 with the callsigns WTNV and was owned by Clear Channel Communications. After becoming "Froggy 104" the callsign was WJGY.

WOGY callsign

[edit]

The callsign WOGY once belonged to a radio station in Memphis, Tennessee at the 94.1 MHz frequency known as "Froggy 94", which is currently WMLE. The station was owned by Sinclair Broadcast Group which ran the format from March 1993 to January 2001 until Entercom bought the station and flipped the format.

WOGY was then owned, but never used, by a northwestern Tennessee Radio Group. When that group relinquished control of the callsign, Forever South then gained control and changed the WJGY callsign to its current state.

Currently

[edit]

104 became 'Froggy 104' on August 1, 2006. "The Morning Splash" features Tad Pole and Jody Austin, mid-days are hosted by Cricket and "The Big Time with Whitney Allen" rounds out the weekdays. Kix Brooks and American Country Countdown, "The Big Time Saturday Night", and special local programming like Sunday Morning in the South are featured on the weekends.
