WGEE (93.5 FM) is "93.5 Duke FM," a classic country radio station owned and operated by Midwest Communications, licensed to New London, Wisconsin, and serving the Northeast Wisconsin area, including Appleton, Oshkosh, and Green Bay (the latter city aided by a repeater at 93.1 FM, W226BD), and is repeated on full-powered station WDKF (99.7 FM), which is licensed to Sturgeon Bay. WGEE's studios are located on Bellevue Street in Green Bay, while its main transmitter is located in Maine Township in Outagamie County, Wisconsin.
The station was opened in 1957 as WLIH, with its studios and transmitter just southeast of New London. The call letters played off a Wisconsin tourism slogan at the time, We Like It Here. Those call letters are now used by a station in Whitneyville, Pennsylvania. In 1981, the station was bought by the owners of the New London National Bank (now part of Citizens Bank, who changed the call letters to WNBK. Under both owners, the station carried music, local news and local high school sports. Those call letters are now used by a repeater station in Whitmire, South Carolina.
In 1991, Midwest Communications purchased the station, changing the call sign to WOZZ. Under those calls, the station started out with an adult contemporary format (using branding and imaging that alluded to The Wizard of Oz) before moving to a long-running classic rock format in the early 1990s ("93.5 WOZZ, The Classic Rock Station") that featured songs from the 1960s, 1970s, and 1980s. WOZZ previously had studios in the former Fidelity Bank building in Appleton until 2008, when Midwest Communications moved all its Green Bay and Appleton-area stations under one roof in new facilities in Bellevue, Wisconsin, a Green Bay suburb; however, to this day the station maintains a control room and sales office in Appleton to meet Federal Communications Commission requirements.
