WGOT-LP (100.1 FM) was a low power FM radio station that broadcast from Gainesville, Florida, United States. WGOT-LP was last operated as a community radio station by the Civic Media Center, a non-profit library in Gainesville.

History

The Civic Media Center first applied for a permit for a low-power FM station in 2001.[1] The construction permit for WGOT-LP was granted in May 2005.[2]

WGOT-LP originally broadcast on 94.7 MHz, sharing this frequency with WVFP-LP, owned by the Faith Presbyterian Church, and WGLJ-LP, owned by the Calvary Church Gainesville. The frequency was previously used by Free Radio Gainesville, a pirate radio station.[3]

In January 2012, the station began streaming its audio online.[4] Streaming was terminated due to copyright issues in October 2015.[5]

Frequency change

On February 28, 2017, the station moved to 100.1 MHz to facilitate 24-hour operation.[6]

The Civic Media Center and Library surrendered WGOT-LP's license to the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) on October 10, 2023; the FCC cancelled the license the following day.

Programming

WGOT-LP aired several locally produced programs and a weekly one-hour show produced by the Civic Media Center and Counterpoise volunteers. The station was a Pacifica Radio affiliate and broadcast several Pacifica programs, including Democracy Now! with Amy Goodman and Juan Gonzalez.[7]
