WGTS 91.9 Expands Ministry to the Eastern Shore

WGTS listeners and staff cheer as the new station goes live.

Story by Jerry Woods

WGTS 91.9 is celebrating the expansion of the ministry to the Eastern Shore of Maryland and Delaware.

The station just hosted a sign-on party from the Washington, D.C., area studios. Donors, staff, and listeners joined together in-person, on the air, and online to see the new station sign on for the first time. In March, generous donors shared enough funds to purchase station WRAU from American University in Washington, D.C. The station’s new call letters are WGBZ, Ocean City, Md., and it is on the dial at 88.3, FM. It will cover over 500,000 residents in the Eastern Shore region.

Soon after celebrating 60 years of ministry, WGTS 91.9, led by Kevin Krueger, president and general manager, purchased its license from WAU and moved into new office space, outfitted to support the needs of this growing media ministry that reaches half a million listeners each week. The enthusiastic team hosts concerts, worship services, a vital prayer ministry and many on-air and in-person events designed to invite listeners “to take one step closer to Christ.”

Story by Jerry Woods

For the second year in a row, WGTS 91.9 has been named a Best Christian Workplace by the Best Christian Workplaces Institute (BCWI). All WGTS staff members took the BCWI workplace survey. This survey covers three core areas, including character, competence, and chemistry. Organizations that score at least a 4.0 or higher on the survey are certified as Best Christian Workplaces. WGTS participated in the workplace survey for the first time last year.

“What an honor it is to work side-by-side with such an amazing team of people at WGTS 91.9! To receive this important certification is another wonderful reminder of God’s blessing upon this media ministry,” said WGTS general manager and president Kevin Krueger.

Since 1957, WGTS 91.9 has been the message of hope to the nation’s capital. That mission is expanding, as the station just announced it’s in the process of purchasing a new, full-power signal to reach the Delmarva Peninsula of Maryland and Delaware. WGTS has signed an agreement with American University to purchase NPR affiliate 88.3, WRAU. This 50,000-watt, Class B station is licensed in Ocean City, Md.
