History

[edit]

After a stint as "Cow Country", "Froggy 102.7" went on the air in 2002 with a hybrid AC format. The station played standard hot AC artists, but also marketed itself as having the most variety; a typical hour's playlist would include several current pop hits, as well asdisco,country, classicR&B, andclassic rock.

The station was known for its involvement with the local community; the airstaff averaged nearly 200 personal appearances a year, and did a considerable amount of community-oriented charity work. The station's signature event was a Polar Plunge promotion called The Leprechaun Leap, which raised money for United Cancer Services of Elkhart County.

The last song on "Froggy 102.7" was "Part of Me" byKaty Perry, which was cut off about halfway through by the introductory montage for The Fan.[2] "The Fan" featured numerous syndicated programs from theFox Sports Radio network, includingThe Dan Patrick Show.
