'''WTGV-FM''' (97.7 [[FM broadcasting|FM]]) is a [[radio station]] broadcasting a [[classic hits]]/[[oldies]] format, serving [[Sandusky, Michigan|Sandusky]] and [[the Thumb]] and Blue Water area of Michigan. WTGV is owned and operated by Sanilac Broadcasting.
==History==
The station began broadcasting in 1971 under the '''WMIC-FM''' call sign, simulcasting [[WMIC]]-AM 1560 (now 660).  WMIC-FM separated programming in 1977, switching to a [[beautiful music]] format, and adopted the WTGV ("Thumb's Great Voice") call sign two years later. The beautiful music format was updated to a [[Middle of the road (music)|MOR]] music mix over the years, and then to mainstream adult contemporary by 2000.
WTGV-FM was almost fully automated and voicetracked, except for simulcasts of news and information programming from its sister station [[WMIC]] (which are carried solely on WTGV after AM sign-off). The station also features a large amount of sports play-by-play, including the [[Detroit Tigers]] and [[Detroit Lions]], and local high-school sports such as basketball and football.
On June 20, 2017 97.7 switched from automated AC to a satellite-fed [[Classic Hits]] format branded as "97-7 WTGV." The format, sourced from Local Radio Networks, targets Hits of the 1970s, 80s, and 90s, with a few late '60s hits included. News, sports, and weather remains unchanged.
