History

The Civic Media Center first applied for a permit for a low-power FM station in 2001.[1] The construction permit for WGOT-LP was granted in May 2005.[2]

WGOT-LP originally broadcast on 94.7 MHz, sharing this frequency with WVFP-LP, owned by the Faith Presbyterian Church; and WGLJ-LP, owned by the Calvary Church Gainesville. The frequency was previously used by Free Radio Gainesville, a pirate radio station.[3]

In January 2012 the station began streaming its audio online.[4] Streaming was terminated due to copyright issues in October 2015.[5]

Frequency change

On February 28, 2017, the station moved to 100.1 MHz to facilitate 24-hour operation.[6]

Programming

WGOT-LP airs several locally produced programs and a weekly one-hour show produced by the Civic Media Center and Counterpoise volunteers. The station is a Pacifica Radio affiliate and broadcasts several Pacifica programs, including Democracy Now! with Amy Goodman and Juan Gonzalez.[7]
