WXJO (1120AM) is adaytime-only radio station, broadcasting with a power of 1,000 watts,licensed to serve the city ofDouglasville, Georgia andreaching western portions of themetro Atlantaradio market, mainly withinDouglas County. The station is currently owned by Cory Condrey, through licensee Condrey Media LLC.[2] WXJO's transmitter is co-located withWDCY AM 1520, and the station's signal isdiplexed on to WDCY'santenna towers.
The station went on the air as WCIK in 1968 on 1560 kHz, originally licensed to serve the city ofGordon, Georgia. It moved to 1120 kHz in April 1983. In February 1989, the station changed itsbroadcast callsign to WYGO. Soon thereafter it changed call signs to WBNM in 1990. In March 2000, the station changed call signs to the current WXJO, previously used on what is nowKXBS inBethalto, Illinois.[3]
In 2008, WXJO'scity of license was moved to Douglasville from Gordon. The station had originally been broadcasting a variety of music (mostlyoldies), andpublic-service announcements in what appeared to be an early test period since it had been moved to Douglasville. In early December 2011, the station begansimulcasting onWANN-LD 29, using audio-onlydigital subchannel 32.27. The station then broadcastmusic in Spanish.
In January 2016, the owners of WXJO filed an application to theFederal Communications Commission (FCC) forspecial temporary authorization to becomesilent, which was granted. The reason given was "At this time it is not financially feasible to operate WXJO. An application to assign the license to another party is pending".[4][5] On March 4, 2016, WXJO was granted an FCCconstruction permit to increase power to 10,000 watts daytime only and change the antenna from nondirectional to directional by erecting a second tower.[6]
The station flipped to asports format fromSB Nation Radio on April 5, 2017, and then to anurban gospel format on March 5, 2018.[7]
