WTGB is a commercial radio station in Bethesda, Maryland, broadcasting to the Washington, DC area on 94.7 FM.
On February 2, 2007, WTGB airs an adult album alternative music format branded as "94-7 The Globe". Prior to that, the station had a classic-rock format for at least 15 years.
[edit] History
WTGB aired a beautiful music format with the call letters, WJMD. The WJMD call letters formed the initials of the previous owner, Joseph and M. Diener.
WJMD evolved into a soft adult contemporary music format with a change of call letters to WLTT.
WLTT dropped the soft adult contemporary music format in favor of a classic rock music format branded as "The Arrow". A change of call letters followed to WARW to complement the change in branding to "The Arrow". WARW was also billed on-air as "We Always Rock Washington."
On February 2, 2007, an adult alternative music format was adopted with the branding, "The Globe". The new "Globe" format also features "green" segments between songs or before and after commercials with environmental information. These segments are called "The Green Scene". On February 15, 2007, the station changed its call letters to WTGB. The shift leaves rival WBIG-FM as the capital's only classic rock station.
