History

The 89.3 FM facility signed on November 29, 1997.[2] WMSJ's programming had originated in July 1993 on 91.9 FM in Harpswell;[2] after 89.3 went on the air, the 91.9 frequency was sold to the Bible Broadcasting Network and became WYFP.[3] Originally known as "Joy 89.3," the station rebranded to "Positive 89.3" in July 2005.[4] W260AS in Lawrence signed on in February 2008.[5]

By September 2010, the station's owner, The Positive Radio Network, shared several board members with Bethesda Christian Broadcasting, another operator of religious radio stations;[6] the following year, WMSJ was transferred to Bethesda.[7][8] In January 2015, Bethesda Christian Broadcasting reached a deal to sell WMSJ to Educational Media Foundation; the sale closed on June 10, 2015, at a purchase price of $925,000, at which point the station joined EMF's K-Love network.[1]
