The Spirit of Earth FM WRTH
80s AND 90s THROWBACKS
Greenville-Spartanburg-Anderson South Carolina
What on Earth is this site about?
This site has a simple purpose: Celebrate 95.5/103.3 Earth FM WRTH, and provide information and resources about Earth FM and, to a lesser extent, its sister station 94.5 The Answer WGTK.
Earth FM and WGTK were Greenville, South Carolina-based radio stations, with an intent to sell from Salem Media Group to Educational Media Foundation in August 2023. In September 2023, a letter was sent to government representatives with all the names from the petition (now closed) that was available on this site. While the effort was not successful — Earth FM officially left the airwaves Oct. 28, 2023 — the support for the Earth-FM team cannot be understated.
Check out the Earthlings Facebook group to see the engagement from listeners.

Background
From radioINSIGHT: Salem Media Group, Inc. (NASDAQ: SALM) announced Aug. 23, 2023, that it entered into an agreement to transfer the ownership of its Greenville-Spartanburg stations, WGTK-FM, WRTH-FM, and WLTE-FM to Educational Media Foundation (EMF). Salem Media CEO David Santrella stated, “We have enjoyed our years in the Greenville-Spartanburg market but have made the strategic decision to divest our interests there. As we do, we are grateful to be able to place these signals in the hands of Educational Media Foundation (EMF) who share a like-minded mission with Salem through their music programming. We are also thankful to our Greenville-Spartanburg staff for their many years of service.”
EMF will pay $6,775,000 for the three stations with a network affiliation agreement to take place before closing. WGTK-FM will join EMF’s Christian AC “K-Love” network, while WRTH and WLTE will become Contemporary Worship “Air 1.“
