WSJL (88.1 FM) is a radio station licensed to serve Northport, Alabama. The station is owned by the Mary V. Harris Foundation. It airs a Christian talk radio format.[1]
The original construction permit for this radio station was issued by the Federal Communications Commission on April 22, 2005.[2] The station was assigned the WSJL call letters by the FCC on May 18, 2005.[3] The station was granted a main studio waiver, thus allowing this station to be programmed entirely from a remote location with no presence in the city of license, on March 13, 2008.[4] WSJL was granted its license to cover by the FCC on May 9, 2008.[5]
The FCC reports that the station fell silent on August 29, 2008.[6]
On October 14, 2008, the station informed the FCC that there was "excessive undesirable noise in the audio output" and that the cause of this technical problem was undetermined.[7] The station requested special temporary authority to remain off the air for 90 days to "investigate and repair the problem."[7] The FCC dismissed this application on February 9, 2009.
