===Top 40/"Classy 95"=== WPGC-AM, Inc., purchased WRNC in 1956. The calls were changed to WPGC-FM in March 1958.<ref name="amandfm"/> WPGC-FM temporarily went silent until February 1959, as new studios were being constructed for the [[top 40]] format. Though the calls have always stood for [[Prince George's County, Maryland|Prince George's County]] for the county Morningside resides in, during the 70s and early 80s an alternate contest slogan had them standing for ''Where People Get Cash'' on-air. WPGC-FM maintained some form of the top 40 format (skewed from [[rock 'n' roll]]-based to [[adult contemporary]]) until 1984, when it flipped to [[easy listening]]/adult contemporary. For two years, the station took the calls WCLY and was known on-air as "Classy 95".<ref name="licensing">{{cite web|url=http://licensing.fcc.gov/cgi-bin/ws.exe/prod/cdbs/pubacc/prod/call_hist.pl?Facility_id=28632&Callsign=WPGC-FM|publisher=Federal Communications Commission|title=Call Sign History}}</ref> [[File:Wpgclogo.png|thumb|WPGC logo from 1996 to 2009]]
