WGTS 91.9 celebrated its one-year anniversary on the Eastern Shore with a summer beach concert as part of the “91 Days of Summer.” About one year ago WGTS purchased and launched 88.3 FM. Over 600 listeners enjoyed the afternoon with a concert from the Christian music artist Blessing Offor. Afternoon show hosts Johnny and Stacey Stone broadcasted live from the beach and the WGTS staff served ice cream to everyone as part of the ongoing ice cream tour.
"We were very excited about our first event at Ocean City. We had a good turnout and look forward to more events on the Eastern Shore," said WGTS Strategic Initiative Director Mike Agee.
