After five years of preparation, 91.3 WCSG-FM (standing for “College and Seminary of Grand Rapids”) went on air on June 9, 1973, with an easy listening and fine arts format. In 1981, WCSG’s programming changed to a primarily Christian format and three years later, the station began broadcasting inspirational programming and music twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week. Today, 91.3 WCSG-FM is the most listened-to Christian radio station in West Michigan, providing contemporary inspirational Christian music and programming to the local market and streaming “live” on the Internet. The station is a community outreach ministry of Cornerstone University.
