- WGAR-FM (99.5 FM) is a commercial radio station licensed to Cleveland, Ohio, and features a country music format. Owned by iHeartMedia, the station serves Greater Cleveland and surrounding Northeast Ohio as the local affiliate for The Bobby Bones Show. WGAR-FM's studios are located in downtown Cleveland and the transmitter is in nearby Parma. Signing on in 1952 as the FM extension of WGAR (1220 AM), WGAR-FM mostly operated in obscurity until 1970, when management instituted a progressive rock format as WNCR. Airstaff turnover, conflicts with management and increased competition from other rock stations led to a format change to Top 40 in 1973, country music in 1974 and again to easy listening as WKSW in 1975. Returning to country in 1980, WKSW became WGAR-FM in 1984 in tandem with WGAR, with the AM simulcasting the FM from 1986 to 1990. WGAR-FM has remained in the format ever since, even with multiple ownership, management and airstaff changes. Since 1999, iHeartMedia (known as Clear Channel Communications until 2014) has owned WGAR-FM as part of their Greater Cleveland cluster. Along with a standard analog transmission, WGAR-FM broadcasts over two HD Radio channels and is available online via iHeartRadio. (en)

- If you remember Glenn Miller and Gabriel Heatter, you really ought to tune in and turn on with the likes of Kyle, who sings, and Billy Bass, who introduces the news with the phrase: 'And now WNCR lays the hard stuff on you.' (en)
- There was no one who worked harder than Chuck... with the small size of radio staffs these days, there was always a ton of various details to handle before the end of the day. Chuck did it all. But if you needed him for something or walked up to him in public, YOU were the total focus of his beneficent attention. He was almost the Country Radio Buddha. (en)
