Its transmitter is located off Corkscrew Road in Estero.

WWGR signed on in 1969 as WHEW-FM, and was a station that targeted the greater Fort Myers area as a Country station during the 1970s and 1980s. During that time, the station struggled to find a strong hold on the market's country music listers. That coupled with the increased competition from WCKT-FM made it a very tough course for the station to sustain.

In the 1990s, WHEW-FM transformed to what is currently WWGR when the station was bought by Renda Broadcasting. Immediately following the sale of the station, the station took over the name Gator Country 101.9, "Southwest Florida's Country Station".
