Page "WKJV (AM)" Paragraph 4

In 1988, GHB Broadcasting purchased the station and changed its letters to WTOO.

In 1992, WTOO was not profitable and a format change to rock and roll was planned.

Hearing this news, Pastor Doug Roland of Maple Ridge Baptist Church in Candler told some area pastors about the problem, and the decision was made to buy the station by asking listeners to contribute.

In five days, $ 53, 000 was raised.

Anchor Bapitst Broadcasting, which also runs WGCR, took over the station and the call letters WKJV were selected, referring to the King James Version of the Bible.
