KTGG is a radio station broadcasting from Spring Arbor, Michigan with a Christian inspirational format. It is simulcast on WJKN in Jackson, Michigan. While K*** callsigns are supposed to be issued only to the west of the Mississippi River, the station was assigned its callsign in error. It's believed that this error occurred when someone at the FCC read "MI" (the postal abbreviation for Michigan) and mistook it as the abbreviation for Missouri or Minnesota.

  • KTGG is a radio station broadcasting from Spring Arbor, Michigan with a Christian inspirational format. It is simulcast on WJKN in Jackson, Michigan. While K*** callsigns are supposed to be issued only to the west of the Mississippi River, the station was assigned its callsign in error. It's believed that this error occurred when someone at the FCC read "MI" (the postal abbreviation for Michigan) and mistook it as the abbreviation for Missouri or Minnesota. KTGG is the first station east of the Mississippi River with a "K" call that does not predate the use of the river as the divider between "K" and "W" calls; the only other station is KCBE of Napeague, New York, which was licensed in 2008. AM 1510 was for many years country music station WJCO. The WJKN calls were adopted in 1995 and the format changed to a full-service combination of news, talk and adult contemporary music. In 1998, WJKN phased out music programming and became a predominantly news station. Then, in September 2000, the station went dark after owner Coltrace Communications sold the land on which the station's towers were located to a developer. Shortly afterward, Coltrace donated WJKN to its current owner, Spring Arbor University, which returned the station to the air briefly in late 2001 and early 2002 with a simulcast of WSAE-FM. WJKN was then again dark for several months, and then resurfaced in March 2003 simulcasting KTGG, whose 450-watt signal does not make it far outside of Spring Arbor. Both stations broadcast during daytime hours only.
