History
Pastor Stan Broadus originally attempted to purchase an existing Albertville, Alabama-based AM radio station in 1992 for his ministry but, after considering the cost and complication, his radio consultant persuaded him that starting a new non-commercial FM station would be easier and less expensive.[2] In January 1993, he filed for a construction permit to build a new FM station as Lake City Educational Broadcasting Inc.[3]
This station received its original construction permit from the Federal Communications Commission on December 23, 1993.[3] The new station was assigned the call letters WAHF by the FCC on February 11, 1994.[4] During construction, the station switched callsigns to the current WJIA on May 23, 1994.[4] WJIA received its license to cover from the FCC on June 24, 1997.[5]
