WCRJ (88.1FM, "The JOY FM") is a Christianradio station inJacksonville, Florida. Owned byRadio Training Network, it broadcasts aChristian AC format as part of itsThe JOY FM network, which broadcasts in multiple different cities throughout the southeast United States.
Prior to 1993, WCRJ was WNCM-FM.[2] The station switched fromcountry music totalk radio in 1995.[3]
88.1 was originally owned by The River Educational Media; until 2011, it was home toThe Promise, which was first launched by Concord Media Group on 106.5 FM and was later purchased by Salem Communications. Salem then sold the signal toCox Radio in 2006 (in which they flipped that station to a simulcast ofWOKV-FM, nowWHJX), and The River agreed to take the Promise name and format, under a lease management agreement with The Promise Educational Media Inc.
In 2011, The River sold WCRJ to theEducational Media Foundation, which switched the station to its satellite-basedK-Love network on May 1, 2011, and then to itsAir1 network a few years later.
On August 1, 2018, after being sold toRadio Training Network, WCRJ flipped from the EMF's Air1 network to RTN's state-wideThe JOY FM network.[4]
