A country music format was aired in the 1970s and 1980s.[7][8][9][10] By 1993, southern gospel programming was added.[2] In 1995, the station was sold to Community Broadcasting Services of Mississippi, along with 99.3 WBIP-FM, for $400,000.[11] It became a Real Country affiliate later that year.[12] In 1997, the station adopted a sports talk format.[13] By 2003, the station had adopted a classic country format.[14] The station also aired southern gospel block programming, which would eventually become its primary format.[1][15][16] By 2019, the station had adopted a Christian contemporary format.[17]
