WNGH-FM (98.9 FM) is an NPR-member radio station (via its radio network), licensed to Chatsworth, Georgia, USA. The station is currently owned by Georgia Public Broadcasting (GPB), which the station simulcasts all radio programming from. It transmits from atop a mountain in the west-southwest part of Fort Mountain State Park ("not" Fort Mountain itself), having moved in May 2008 to be with WNGH-TV 18, also a GPB station.

ale to GPB

On December 21 2007, North Georgia Radio Group entered into an agreement to sell the station, then known as WQMT, to The Foundation For Public Broadcasting In Georgia, Inc., which shares the same street address as GPB headquarters in Atlanta.

[cite web |url=http://fjallfoss.fcc.gov/cgi-bin/ws.exe/prod/cdbs/pubacc/prod/app_det.pl?Application_id=1226069 |title=Application Search Details |work=FCC CDBS Database |date=2008-04-09 |accessdate=2008-04-16] Pending the sale, GPB reserved the call sign WNGH-FM for the station, to be assigned upon consummation.

The station switched from its previous classic country format (as "Georgia 99") to GPB on January 2, 2008, and later moved to the WNGH-TV tower around May 2008.
