On April 19, 2021, RTN launched The JOY FM on WNUE-FM 98.1, which the organization concurrently filed to buy from Entravision Communications for $4 million.[3]

During most of 2013, WJIS was also simulcasted on 91.7 WFTI-FM in St. Petersburg; that station would cease operations in fall 2013, to allow for upgrades of adjacent channel WCIE and co-channel WJFH.[4]

The Radio Training Network also has The JOY FM-branded stations in Dothan, Alabama (WIZB); Montgomery, Alabama (WPHH); Athens, Georgia (WMSL); and Atlanta / Macon, Georgia (WVFJ-FM and WWWD), though these stations do not repeat WJIS 24/7.

WCIE, WJIS, WJLF, WHIJ and WWRZ broadcast in HD Radio format. On HD2, the stations broadcast "Joy Worship", a channel that features traditional Christian worship songs. On HD3, the stations broadcast "LF Radio" (named after its predecessor "LightForce Radio"[5]), a progressive youth music channel. WWRZ broadcasts "Classic Joy" on its HD4 channel, a station featuring 20th century and early 21st century worship favorites. All of these stations can be heard online or on The JOY FM phone app.

Translators

In addition to the full-powered stations, The JOY FM is relayed by additional translators:
