History

The station went on the air as WLKA on 1997-06-15. on 1998-10-05, the station changed its call sign to the current WCGR.

In 2008, WCGR added a simulcast on FM translator W283BF (104.5 mHz), allowing it to broadcast 24 hours a day on the FM band.

On July 23rd, 2008, WCGR was forced to change the format of both AM 1550 and 104.5 FM from news/talk, as part of co-owned Finger Lakes News Radio, to oldies music.

WCGR management cites clearance issues involving the talk shows that were carried on WCGR via its affiliation with Finger Lakes News Radio, and says competitor WHAM in Rochester would no longer allow WCGR to carry the affected programs as a 24 hour station.

On both AM and FM, the WCGR programming continues to include local news and sports programming from Finger Lakes News Radio.
