WFGS-FM (103.7 FM, "Froggy 103.7") is a radio station located in Murray, Kentucky licensed by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) and owned by Forever Communications. The station airs a country music format. Froggy 103.7 is one of the most listened to radio stations in Western Kentucky and Northwest Tennessee for country music.
Like most other Froggy (brand) radio stations their on-air names are "Frog Name".
In September 2007 the call letters of WFGE were taken from Froggy 103.7 to give to another start-up Froggy station, giving the Murray, Kentucky Froggy the new call letters of WFGS-FM. No format changes came with the call letter change.
Froggy 103.7 (along with sister stations WNBS and WBZB) hold different events through the year, and this is a list of some of them.
Froggy 103.7 airs CMT Country Countdown USA featuring Lon Helton. Other syndicated shows include Lia.
As of September 2016 the on-air line-up for Froggy 103.7 is as follows:
Froggy 103.7 is the home to the Murray State University Racers football and basketball. In May 2015 MSU announced their renewal of their contract with WFGS through the 2019-2020 seasons for both football and basketball. Although the press release had not been updated since 2007, as noted by the incorrect call letters of WFGE.
The station, for a short time, was an affiliate for Tennessee Titans football. Beginning in the fall of 2008 the station also started airing the "Cross Town Classic" between Murray High School and Calloway County High School.
In 2008 the station became even more involved in the local communities by launching Froggyland Sports. The site offers an in depth look at high school sports in much of the broadcast air, known as "Froggyland". Froggyland Sports is updated by Travis Turner who hosts his sports talk show on brother station WBZB ESPN The Office. WFGS, WNBS, & WBZB all act as the "voice" of Murray High School Sports and Calloway County Basketball. Games are aired on all three stations as well as on the internet at Froggylandsports.Com.
