WGPB/97.7 FM is the Georgia Public Broadcasting station serving Rome and Northwest Georgia. The station became part of the GPB statewide radio network in July 2006 when GPB purchased the former WKCX-FM, an adult contemporary station owned by Briar Creek Broadcasting. Adding this new station to our network gave us coverage in Northwest Georgia for the first time since GPB Radio began broadcasting in 1985, and gave listeners their first good access to public radio.
