At this time, Jacor was operating a station on 920 kHz with the call letters WGST (now WGKA). However, WPBD had a better signal than WGST. It operated at 50,000 watts during the daytime and 1,000 watts at night, a substantial increase in daytime power and signal coverage area compared to WGST's 920 kHz facilities. Effective June 30, 1989, WPBD's call sign was changed to WGST. The talk radio programming previously on 920 kHz was transferred to 640 kHz. Among WGST's staff of talk hosts was Neal Boortz.
