Radio Greeneville, Inc. has been a source of community information since we signed on the air in 1946 with WGRV 1340 AM. Over the next three-quarters of a century, RGI has grown to serve the people of Greeneville and Greene County and keep them informed with local news.
In 1956, Radio Greeneville expanded our reach with the addition of an FM radio station. In 2001, we added AM/FM combo, and upgraded AM stations to the FM band in 2016. We now broadcast 99.5 FM and 1340 AM WGRV, 103.1 FM WIKQ, and 95.5 FM and 1450 AM WSMG. In additional, all of our stations are streamed on-line.
Since 1997, the station has offered its news online for free, pioneering digital journalism in the community and becoming the first news organization here to do so.
