WYRS is an FM Radio station in New Jersey.

[edit] History

It first went on the air on March 27, 1995 with a mix of Christian and community programming. When first on the air broadcasts were in mono. The station was only on the air on a part-time schedule.

The original schedule was: 4:30pm-11:00pm (Mon-Fri)/12:30pm-10:30pm (Sat)/3pm-11pm (Sun)

During the summer of 1996, the station expanded its broadcast hours to 7:00am-midday daily. By the summer of 1997, it was broadcasting 24 hours a day - in stereo.

[edit] Programming

Some slogans that WYRS uses are "Community Radio With A Christian Perspective" and "We're Your Radio Station."

Programming is mostly satellite, but there are some locally produced programs mixed in, such as "Reflections", a show hosted by Bob Wick, the general manager of WYRS, on Saturday evenings.

WYRS also hosts live remote broadcasts each year from Manahawkin Founder's Day.

90.7 was originally given the WAGB calls on December 17, 1993 and then switched to WYRS on January 31, 1994.
