History
The station was founded in 1993 by Charles Smithgall as WHEL;
In 2005, the station was sold to Sorenson Southeast Radio and operated on a local marketing agreement (LMA) by Douglas M. Sutton, Jr., who is the licensee of several broadcast stations in Georgia and the Carolinas, the station remained silent for several months. On June 1, 2006, Oconee River Broadcasting, LLC signed a programming agreement with Sutton for a three-year period. Upon return to the air, the station held a listener poll to determine the station's format; a rock AC format was chosen and was known as Georgia 105. The station initially reclaimed the WHEL call letters for its city of Helen, but on November 1, 2006, it became WZGA. Oconee River Broadcasting was unable to secure a long-term agreement to own or operate the station. Prior to the expiration of the three-year term, Sorenson filed for consent to reassign the license of WZGA to Sutton's company, Tugart Properties, LLC. On April 20, 2009, the assignment was approved by the FCC. On June 1, 2009, the station reverted to the control of Sutton under his company, Tugart Properties, LLC, the call letters were changed to WNGA and after a short stunting period the station changed to country music.[2] The station left the air on August 10, 2011 due to insufficient advertising revenue.[2] The station is now owned by Educational Media Foundation, and broadcasts the K-LOVE Contemporary Christian format.
