WYGC is a news/talk radio station broadcasting from Gainesville, Florida as "The Talk" under the ownership of JVC Media, LLC, through licensee JVC Media of Florida, LLC. It previously broadcast a classic hits format as "104.9 WOW FM" until August 3, 2016, a country music format (simulcasting WTRS 102.3 FM Dunnellon, Florida until February 10, 2014), and before that, a sports format as "105 The Game" until May 31, 2013.[1]
