In January 2005, the college approved a lease with Clear Channel Communications for space on their nearby tall tower. The transmitting antenna is now at a height of 806 feet versus the previous just under 200 feet height on the former tower. With approval from the Federal Communications Commission, on June 27, 2005, the station increased its power to 6,000 watts.^[1] On September 26, 2006, the FCC granted permission to WSGE to increase its power again to 7,500 watts.
