WPGG (1450 AM; "WPG Talk Radio 95.5") is a commercial radio station licensed to Atlantic City, New Jersey. The station is owned by Townsquare Media and broadcasts a talk radio format. WPGG's studios and offices are on Tilton Road in Northfield, New Jersey.
WPGG is powered at 1,000 watts, using a non-directional antenna, and can be heard throughout New Jersey's Ocean, Atlantic, and Cape May counties. Its transmitter is on Riverside Street near Absecon Boulevard (U.S. Route 30) in Atlantic City.
The 1450 frequency in Atlantic City first hit the airwaves in 1940 with its call letters of WFPG, which stood for "World's Famous Play Ground". For several decades, WFPG aired a full service format, which included a mixture of adult standards, big band, and easy listening music, from studios on the world-famous Steel Pier on the Atlantic City boardwalk.
Towards the late 1970s, when casino gambling arrived in Atlantic City, WFPG became "Win 1450" and changed its call letters to WIIN, continuing its full-service format, albeit with an adult contemporary flavor. Later, the station used the taped, syndicated "Entertainers" MOR format, using live announcers in some dayparts.
In 1985, Roger Tees took over as news director and hired anchors, Jeff Scott, Greg Gaston, Carla Contento Kenny, and Vince Scanlon, along with sports director Jim Wise and sports anchor Greg Toland. When the all-news/talk anchors departed for other positions in larger markets, ratings plummeted.
On January 18, 1988, the WFPG call letters, which had remained in use on a co-owned FM station, returned to the AM facility.
For much of the 1990s, syndicated talk programs such as Bob Grant, Mike Gallagher, and Art Bell were mainstays of the station's line-up.
In 1999, WFPG became one of the first affiliates of the Comedy World Radio Network. A year later, Comedy World went out of business and the station resorted to simulcasting WFPG-FM during most hours.
