Radio station only aired Spanish-speaking songs and shows in 2001

On January 1st, 1470, 1470 WWBG changed from English-and-Spanish to Spanish-only broadcasts, becoming Greensboro's first all-Spanish station.
Truth Broadcasting attributed the move to rising local demand for Spanish radio in Guilford County, aiming to reach a whole new community of Spanish-speaking listeners.
1470 WWBG, on air for two years, will shift its schedule as part of the relaunch, with David Albright and staff calling the change necessary while some listeners said they were looking forward to it.
Listeners expressed excitement about the new Spanish-only lineup, and local business owner Estela Alonzo sees it as a promotional opportunity for 1470 WWBG in Guilford County.
Positioned as a specialized outlet, the station targets the growing Spanish-speaking community across Guilford County and Winston Salem, broadening regional reach via simulcast on WTOV.
