WJLI (98.3 FM, "Rock 98.3") is a radio station broadcasting a classic rock format.[1] Licensed to Metropolis, Illinois, USA, the station is currently owned by Sun Media, Inc., also known as Stratemeyer Media and is located inside Kentucky Oaks Mall in Paducah, KY.
History
 | This article contains promotional content. (July 2011) |
The station was assigned the call sign WRIK on April 6, 1982. On October 6, 1987, the call sign was altered to WRIK-FM. The station previously used to broadcast from the old Massac Theatre in Metropolis, Illinois. WRIK initially was a "class A" station with a signal covering Paducah, Kentucky and Metropolis, Illinois primarily. WRIK was extended a construction permit to move its transmitter location to the south and expand its signal coverage with a "class C1" license in the early 1990s. The station currently serves portions of Southern Illinois, Western Kentucky, Southeast Missouri and West Tennessee from a tower located in Graves County, Kentucky near the community of Golo.[2]
On December 26, 2012, WRIK-FM rebranded as Jelli 98.3, keeping its Hot AC format, and changed its call sign to the current WJLI, and added 6 hours of user-controlled content per day, from 6PM-12M 7 days a week.[3]
On November 6, 2013 WJLI changed their format to classic rock (keeping the "Jelli 98.3" branding), filling the classic rock void in the Paducah KY market 5 days after WQQR 94.7 FM began stunting with Christmas music.[4] The first song played was Europe (band)'s "Final Countdown".
On June 26, 2014, following Jelli's radio closure announcement,[5] WJLI rebranded as Rock 98.3.
The station is an affiliate of the syndicated Pink Floyd program "Floydian Slip."
