History

The initial call letters of WDJC were WSGN-FM. The station signed on in the 1940’s, and was originally owned by the parent company of The Birmingham News, and it was the sister station of one of the more popular AM radio stations in Birmingham. In 1953, the parent company of the Birmingham News purchased WAFM-TV, WAPI-AM and WAFM-FM and was forced to sell WSGN-AM and FM. Because FM radio was in its infancy, and as such neither popular nor profitable, the station was sold later in the 1950’s and became WSFM, playing classical music. The Birmingham News is a the daily newspaper for Birmingham, Alabama, and the largest newspaper in Alabama. ... WVTM-TV is the NBC affiliate station in the Birmingham-Anniston-Tuscaloosa, Alabama television market. ... WAPI is an AM radio station licensed to Birmingham, Alabama. ... WYSF is an adult contemporary FM radio station licensed to Birmingham. ...

In 1967, WSFM was sold to Crawford Broadcasting Company. With its new call letters, WDJC, the station changed formats and began broadcasting Christian programming. Initially, the programming consisted of Bible studies, church services and other Christian teaching; by the mid-1970s, some contemporary Christian music was added to the programming mix. At about the same time, a nightly program featuring Southern gospel music was added. This programming strategy continued well into the 1990s.

In 1998 WDJC dropped the non-music elements of its programming. WFMH-FM in Cullman was purchased by a group of Birmingham investors with the purpose of launching a station that would play contemporary Christian music 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Initially, the new station, rebranded as WRRS-FM proved to be a challenger to WDJC; in reaction to the challenge, WDJC began to play contemporary Christian music exclusively. Within three years, WRRS changed formats; ironically, Crawford Broadcasting bought the competing station in 2003.
