WJKQ (88.5 FM) is a radio station licensed to serve Jackson, Michigan. The station is owned by Great Lakes Community Broadcasting and is in the process of being donated to the Society for Accurate Information and Distribution (SAID) Foundation pending FCC approval. The SAID Foundation took over operations of the station in early 2008 and is operating it under the name Foundation Radio, where community matters. According to the Foundation Radio web site, the station is in the midst of being taken over by new owners, but it is not made clear who the new owners are or what they intend to do with the station.
The station formerly aired a commercial-free Oldies format with some Christian religious programming; it was then off the air for several months but is now back on the air with the SAID Foundation's automated, commercial-free adult standards/oldies/light music feed, with breaks for locally-oriented community programming. It also broadcasts public service programming from NASA, USDA, CDC, etc.
The station has been assigned these call letters by the Federal Communications Commission since May 8, 2003.[2]
