WFGR is the only all-oldies music radio station in the market of Grand Rapids, Michigan. It transmits from their facility in Alpine Township on 98.7 FM. WFGR's licensee is Regent Broadcasting of Grand Rapids, Inc.
WFGR was previously a classical music station throughout the 1990s, broadcasting the World Classical Network from WFCC-FM in Chatham, Massachusetts. It changed its format to oldies music on October 11, 2004 when Grand Rapids' current oldies station at the time, WODJ, was displaced by rock station WKLQ.
WFGR recently transitioned from being partially satellite-fed (from ABC Radio's "Oldies Radio" format) to having a mostly-local lineup of DJs, though it still uses the satellite feed at night. Morning host Len O'Kelly is a veteran of WODJ, and was production director at the late WRLL "Real Oldies 1690" in Chicago.
