The station, while it was still a construction permit, was assigned the call letters as WZYB on May 7, 1992. On September 1, 1993, the station changed its call sign to WNGX.
It officially signed on the air in August 1994; 30 years ago (August 1994). On July 13, 1998, the call letters became WNGN.
In 2009, WNGN announced that two new affiliated stations would go on the air: WNGB (91.3 FM) in Petersham, Massachusetts, and WNGF (89.9 FM) in Swanton, Vermont. In August 2013, Northeast Gospel Broadcasting reached a deal to sell WNGF to Christian Ministries.
