It began regular programming, as experimental station W1XOJ, in 1939. In 1941 it was licensed for commercial operation from studios in Boston, initially with the call sign W43B, which was changed to WGTR in 1943. In 1947, its designated community of license was changed to Worcester, Massachusetts. During the station's entire existence, its transmitter site was located atop Asnebumskit Hill near Paxton, Massachusetts. WGTR was deleted in July 1953.
