WGFT goes all-talk

By Jason Togyer

Youngstown: Youngstown-area AMer WGFT (1330) has changed formats, dumping its previous urban-gospel music mix to go all-talk, reports the Vindicator.

The new lineup on the 500-watt daytimer, licensed to Campbell, includes syndicated talkers Don Imus, Laura Ingraham, Dave Ramsey, Sean Hannity and Mark Levin.

Skip Bednarczyk, who became the general manager last month, says WGFT is the only station in Ohio running Imus' morning show.

WGFT was previously owned by Stop 26 Riverbend; it was taken over by creditors several months ago after the parent company ended up in bankruptcy.

Good catch Jason. I was not aware of this change because of the signal of WGFT 1330. Where I live, the 5,000 watt WFNN 1330 from Erie is much more powerful & blocks out WGFT.

WGFT now, finally, has a web site. 1330wgft.com
