WSJI, known as South Jersey's Inspiration, is a Contemporary Christian station which is broadcast in the Philadelphia area, via a transmitter that covers a wide radius around the Cherry Hill, NJ area. WSJI offers a wide variety of music and specialty programming, which is mostly sponsored by local Churches and various businesses.
Formerly owned by Thomas Moffit Sr.'s Broadcast Learning Center, WSJI was sold in mid–August 2006 to California–based EMF Broadcasting's "K-Love" radio network for a reported $2.5M US; $600,000 cash at closing (including $122,500 escrow deposit) plus $1.85 million promissory note. The sale was brokered by John Pierce and Co. LLC and represents the Educational Media Foundation's entry into the Greater Philadelphia Metropolitan radio market. Pending final approval by the FCC, the sale is expected to be finalized at the end of November 2006, at which time it is anticipated that the station will begin airing K-Love programming exclusively. The disposition of local programming and sponsorship acknowledgements is unclear at this time.
