History

The station signed on the air in 1995; 30 years ago (1995). Its original call sign was WAJE. In 2002, the station became co-owned with WFIA 900 AM after being acquired by the Salem Media Group, the largest Christian radio company in the U.S. It mostly simulcast the Christian talk and teaching programming of sister station WFIA 900 AM.

On December 22, 2016, the Salem Media Group announced that it would hand operation of its Louisville radio stations, including WFIA-FM, to the Word Broadcasting Network (also known as Word Media Group). It would be under a time brokerage agreement.^[3] Word Broadcasting ended WFIA-FM's simulcast of WFIA 900 AM, with the AM station changing to a simulcast of Word's Contemporary Christian station WJIE-FM.^[4][5]

On February 10, 2020, Word Broadcasting announced that it would take advantage of the option in its agreement to acquire the stations from Salem for $4 million.^[6][7] The sale was completed on May 25, 2022.^[8]
