WSJI, known as South Jersey's Inspiration, was a non–commercial Contemporary Christian radio station that covered a wide radius around the Cherry Hill, NJ area, including Philadelphia. WSJI offered a wide variety of music and specialty programming, mostly sponsored by local Churches and various businesses.
Formerly owned by Thomas Moffit Sr.'s Broadcast Learning Center, WSJI was sold to California–based EMF Broadcasting's "K-Love" radio network for $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. The sale, which began in August 2006, was finalized on 10 January 2007 and the station switched to K–Love's Network feed at 17:00 (EST) the same day. No local programming or sponsorship spots have aired since that time. The station's new call letters are WKVP, ostensibly "(K)lo(V)e (P)hiladelphia".
