Civic Media has introduced a new full-service format to Green Bay and Brown County with the debut of Local News and Timeless Hits on WGBW (97.9 & 1590). The station now features a blend of local news coverage and Classic Hits spanning the late 1950s through the early 1970s, including music from artists such as Stevie Wonder, The Supremes, Neil Diamond, The Beach Boys, and The Beatles.

WGBW's new on-air lineup includes several familiar voices to Northeast Wisconsin listeners: Dan Markus (6-9am), Laura McKenna (9am-2pm), Eric Westphal (2-6pm) and Pete Schwaba (6-8pm). Schwaba's evening show continues from the station's previous News/Talk format and features interviews and entertainment content.

In addition to music programming, WGBW maintains a strong local news presence with Lisa Hale delivering updates at the top and bottom of every hour and Mike Clemens providing sports reports throughout the day.

"We believe there is a demand for this iconic music," said Chris Moreau, Civic Media's Senior Vice President. "I'm proud that the company's commitment to local journalism remains. I have spent many years personally and professionally in the Green Bay market, and I'm confident that this will be a success."

Aaron Carreno, Civic Media's Vice President of Programming, added, "Our refreshed lineup is now 100% local and welcomes even more familiar voices and personalities to WGBW who have built their lives in Northeastern Wisconsin and know what makes this part of the state one of the most desirable places to live."

Civic Media's talk programming remains available on WISS-AM & FM in Oshkosh, FM 96.5 in Appleton, and streaming at wiss.fm.
