Its studios are located just two blocks from the Augusta-Richmond County border in unincorporated Columbia County, Georgia and the transmitter is east of Aiken, South Carolina.

History

[edit]

102.7 signed on in 1990 as WAJY with an adult standards format as "Joy 102.7". In 2004, it became Contemporary Christian under the Joy 102.7 moniker for a brief time before being sold to Beasley Broadcasting, who moved WGOR's oldies format from 93.9 FM to 102.7 FM in October 2004, becoming "Oldies 102.7".

On October 27, 2006 WGOR-FM switched to Christmas music for the season as "Santa 102.7." The station changed formats on December 26 of that year, revealing its southern gospel format under the WGUS-FM call letters.

This was not the first time that the WGUS-FM call letters were used in the Augusta market. Before the 1990s, the WGUS-FM call letters were on 102.3 FM (now WIBL).

The station is owned by the Beasley Broadcast Group, Inc., through licensee Beasley Media Group, LLC.

On August 28, 2020, WGUS-FM changed their format from southern gospel to soft AC, branded as "Sunny 102.7".[2]
