History

As far back as 1971, the pastor of the First Baptist Church of Melbourne had suggested the region needed a Christian radio. A church committee began the process to apply for a construction permit from the Federal Communications Commission. [4] The FCC had given the region a new FM allotment at 107.1. Other broadcasters supported the idea, especially when it was announced the station would be non-commercial.

On January 1, 1980, the station first signed on the air. [1] Initially the station was on the air for limited hours but after a few years, it began 24 hour operations.
