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 15-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 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.
