WGRN 89.5 FM

The mission of WGRN 89.5 FM is three-fold: first, to serve Jesus Christ and His kingdom; second, to serve as a learning laboratory for Greenville College students in the field of broadcasting; and third, to reach out to its audience with programming that edifies, encourages, informs, and entertains.

WGRN 89.5 FM, our FM radio station, is almost exclusively student managed and operated. This provides the student with many opportunities for practical experience that also earns academic credit. WGRN 89.5 FM's mix of Christian and mainstream music ministers daily to the listening audience who lives within our signal's 28-mile radius. Other programming includes the regular broadcast of Greenville College chapel, live play-by-play of many College sports, nationally syndicated programs, news and weather. The experience gained in this format is invaluable in the job market.

Students can also learn and develop production skills in the WGRN 89.5 FM Production Studio. Equipment in that studio includes a 16-channel console, various tape recorders and signal processors, a linear multi-track tape recorder, computer recording and editing equipment, and more. We continue to upgrade the equipment to keep pace with our increasingly technological world.
