[edit] History
This station originally bore the call letters WWBZ and was licensed to Vineland, New Jersey. WWBZ operated from 1946 to 1989, then went silent. In 1990 it moved to Washington Township and returned to the air as WVSJ ("We're Very South Jersey"), carrying mostly talk programming. WVSJ was one of the first Philadelphia-area stations to carry Rush Limbaugh on weekdays, but lost rights to the program when it was picked up by WWDB. In 1992 the station adopted a country music format and became WNJC ("New Jersey Country"), shifted to Spanish-language programming by 1994, then evolved into its current brokered format.
In 1994 the station was rescued from bankruptcy by legondary radio engineer Michael Venditti and his partner John Forsythe who was known as the "Best Radio Salesperson in the state of NJ". Michael Venditti passed away in April of 1998. The Station is still owned by John Forsythe, and the recent success of the station is known as the greatest financial turnaround in the history of NJ Radio.
