[edit] History

WWWJ began operation on April 1, 1947 as WBOB (AM). Early staff included announcer Herm Reavis, engineer Ed Boyer and sales manager J. Brice Parks Sr. The station retained the WBOB call sign until May 19, 1997 when it was renamed WWWJ. The WBOB call sign moved first to a station in Cincinnati, Ohio, and then in 2006 to the current WBOB-AM station in Jacksonville, Florida.[1]

[edit] Broadcast Area

With 5,000 watts of power, WWWJ covers not only the Twin Counties of Carroll County and Grayson County, but also parts of Wythe County, Virginia and Pulaski County in Virginia, but also Surry County and Alleghany County in North Carolina.

[edit] Format

The format is primarily Southern Gospel, with a mix of Country Gospel, Bluegrass Gospel, Contemporary Christian and Black Gospel make up the music, as well as national and local ministry programs to complete the format.

[edit] Programming

"Tony in the Morning", or the WWWJ Morning Show, airs Monday thru Friday with Host and Announcer Tony Phillips, with a blend of music, news, humor, interviews and conservative commentary. Veteran Announcer Joel Bonn rounds out the afternoon broadcast with more music, local news and programming.
