History

At one time this was a Country-Western station with the letters WKBX and a 10,000-watt directional signal. Stuart Epperson sold the station early in 1976 to Randolph Properties Inc. of Dallas, Texas, though general manager Curly Howard said no changes were planned.[1] In the late 1970s it was WURL ("World"), the first all-news radio station in the area. On November 3, 1976, Crash Williams said the news format would remain even after the demise of the NBC news service in mid-1977.[2] Later the station began airing Christian programming, primarily for an African-American audience.
