WWGH-LP (107.1 FM) was a radio station licensed to serve the community of Marion, Ohio. It aired a community radio format.[2]

The station was assigned the WWGH-LP call letters by the Federal Communications Commission on April 25, 2014.[3]

The station's license was revoked on February 12, 2021, due to failure to respond to correspondence from the FCC, a violation of Section 73.3568(a) of the FCC regulations.[4] The FCC restored the station's license on February 17, to give the board more time to respond.

On March 4, 2022, the FCC issued a Hearing Designation Order, Notice of Opportunity for Hearing, and Notice of Apparent Liability for Forfeiture (Order) and commenced a hearing to determine whether The Marion Education Exchange (MEE) has committed violations of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended (Act) and/or the rules and regulations (Rules) of the Federal Communications Commission (Commission), and, as a consequence, whether MEE's application (Renewal Application) to renew the license of low power FM radio station WWGH-LP, Marion, Ohio (Station) should be granted or denied pursuant to section 309(k) of the Act, and whether a forfeiture should be imposed against MEE.[5]

On August 16, 2022, the FCC dismissed the license renewal application with prejudice. The order mentioned a possible misrepresentation and lack of candor by the licensee in responding to the FCC. The license was not renewed.
