WOAD (1300 AM) is a radio station licensed to Jackson with an urban gospel format and is owned by Inner City Broadcasting Corporation.
[edit] History
The 1300khz frequency was assigned the WRBC call letters for several years. Around 1978, the transmitter site was rebuilt and call letters were changed to WKXI-AM.
In March, 1996, the WOAD call letters and gospel format moved to the more powerful 1300 kHz, after swapping frequencies with then-sister station WKXI-AM.
On January 11, 2004, WOAD started simulcasting on FM—at 105.9
July 2, 2009, WOAD dropped its FM simulcast and resumed AM-only broadcasting.
