105.3 WSGC(FM) : We Serve Granite Country

105.3 WSGC is the community radio voice for Elbert and Wilkes counties in an area of

northeastern Georgia which we call “Granite Country.” There are very few areas where

the local radio station dominates radio listenership and 105.3 WSGC is fortunate to be

among this unique group of radio stations. 105.3 WSGC provides a full-service format

that focuses on local news, sports, weather, community events and local involvement. It’s

a unique relationship that dates back to 1947 when sister station WSGC (AM) began

broadcasting in Elberton. Broadcasting 24 hours a day, 7 days a week from the tallest

broadcast tower in the Georgia-Carolina region, 105.3 WSGC provides primary signal

coverage to Elbert, Wilkes, Oglethorpe, Madison and Lincoln counties in Georgia ; and

Abbeville and McCormick counties in South Carolina. Included in this area are the

world’s largest deposits of granite used for construction and monument manufacturing

and the heavily visited Lake Russell and Lake Thurmond recreation areas. 105.3 WSGC-
