The station was founded as WFGW AM in May 1962 by the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association.[2]

A 1970 ad in the Asheville Citizen-Times said WFGW was the only area station playing easy listening music and standards.[3] It was a daytime-only station broadcasting at 50,000 watts.[2]

Prior to 2005, it played mostly Southern gospel music which was moved online. Starting August 1, 2005, as "Faith and Freedom Radio", WFGW was a commercial talk radio station with some Christian talk.[4] WFGW Talk Radio was available on its sister-station's HD signal, 106.9 FM HD3.

WKJW must reduce power to 90 watts at night to protect Canadian clear-channel CFRB in Toronto.

International Baptist Outreach Missions, owner of WKJV of Asheville, North Carolina, purchased 1010 AM and started broadcasting on July 19, 2013, as WKJW.
