"The Million Dollar Sound of WGMA" began in the mid-1960s as a middle of the road station. It was a daytimer, required to go off the air at night, and broadcast with only 1,000 watts. Artists included Frank Sinatra, Nat King Cole, Barbra Streisand and Dean Martin.

It later switched to country music as WGMA "The Country Giant." The power was boosted to 5,000 watts around the clock, using a four-tower directional pattern, day and night.
