WSGE signed on the air in October 1980, originally with an effective radiated power of 3,000 watts on a 200 foot tower. In January 2005, the college approved a lease with Clear Channel Communications (now iHeartMedia) for space on the company's nearby tall tower. The transmitting antenna now has a height above average terrain (HAAT) of 260 meters (853 feet).
With approval from the Federal Communications Commission (FCC), on June 27, 2005, the station increased its power to 6,000 watts.[3] On September 26, 2006, the FCC granted permission to WSGE to increase its power again to 7,500 watts.
