WPGI (100.9 FM) is a radio station broadcasting a country music format. Licensed to Horseheads, New York, USA, the station serves the Elmira-Corning area. The station is currently owned by Community Broadcasters, LLC, and features programming from ABC Radio, Premiere Radio Networks and Jones Radio Network.^[1]

WPGI is roughly modeled after sister station WPIG in Olean. Like WPIG, WPGI's morning show is known as "The Morning Pigpen" (though it has its own local host, Sandy Swan), and the two stations have some syndicated programming in common. Afternoons are with longtime market veteran "Chris P. Bacon".

The station originated in 1970, with call letters WQIX, with a modern country format. Studios in Horseheads, NY, shared with sister AM WIQT, and transmitter on Prospect Hill north of the village. Construction was by Chief Engineer C Michael Scullin with John Mulligan. It was owned then by retailer Manny Panosian and John Arikian, dba Chemung County Radio. Program Director was David G Ridenour and General Manager Bob Johnson. Along with the rest of Backyard Broadcasting's New York assets, the station was sold to Community Broadcasters, LLC effective August 26, 2013, at a price of $3.6 million.

On October 1, 2013, WPGI rebranded as "100.9 The Wolf".^[2]
