Template:Short description Template:DMCA Template:DMCA Template:Infobox radio station dual
WGIB (91.9 FM) and WQEM (101.5 FM) are non-commercial, listener-supported radio stations based in Birmingham, Alabama. WGIB is licensed to Birmingham while WQEM is licensed to Columbiana. They are owned by the Glen Iris Baptist School and they simulcast a Christian talk and teaching format.[1] The studios are on 10th Place South, near Interstate 65 in Birmingham. Programming is relayed on a series of low-powered FM translators around Alabama. The audio is also streamed on the internet and accompanied by nature scenes on a subchannel of Glen Iris Baptist's low power television station W16DS-D.
National religious leaders heard on WGIB and WQEM include David Jeremiah, Jim Daly, Adrian Rogers, Alistair Begg, Chuck Swindoll, Nancy DeMoss Wolgemuth, J. Vernon McGee, John MacArthur and Charles Stanley. Some hours are devoted to Christian music. SRN News supplies updates during the day. The station holds periodic on-air fundraisers and seeks donations on its website.
History
The WGIB call letters were assigned by the Federal Communications Commission on September 20, 1982.[2]
WQEM serves an area about 25 miles (40 km) south of Birmingham.[3] It was purchased from Clear Channel Communications in 2002. Glen Iris kept the WQEM call sign for the station after its purchase. The station was assigned the WQEM call letters by the Federal Communications Commission on August 3, 1998.[4] Before its purchase by Glen Iris Baptist School, WQEM served as a repeater of Top 40 station WQEN, whose signal at the time did not adequately cover the southern suburbs of Birmingham.
