Brief history

WGJU had its beginnings as WZHN, a simulcast of WPHN owned by Northern Christian Radio in Gaylord. In 2008 WZHN became WRQC airing Contemporary Christian music as "91.3 The Rock." WRQC briefly went silent in January of 2011 returning to the air as WGJU. Originally Baraga Broadcasting obtained a construction permit for the 88.9 frequency in Tawas City but instead purchased WRQC, hence the construction permit for 88.9 was dropped.

Baraga Broadcasting acquired the former WRQC in July of 2012.
