History

The 1300 kHz frequency was assigned the WRBC call letters for several years. Around 1978, the transmitter site was rebuilt and call letters were changed to WKXI.

In March 1996, the WOAD call letters and gospel format moved to the more powerful 1300 kHz, after swapping frequencies with then-sister station WKXI.

On January 11, 2004, WOAD started simulcasting on FM—at 105.9.

July 2, 2009, WOAD dropped its FM simulcast and resumed AM-only broadcasting.
