History
This station signed on in the 1954 as WAIP, a daytime-only station with a
In the late 1990s, the station flipped to a syndicated talk radio format as "Impact 1270". The station changed callsigns again to WIJD on October 1, 2003.[2] This corresponded with a brief experiment as a simulcast of the contemporary Christian music format of WGCX in Pensacola, Florida, before returning to talk.[1] In Summer 2004, the station returned to religious broadcasting full-time.
In April 2006, Satellite Radio Network (Michael Glinter, president) reached an agreement to sell WIJD to Wilkins Communications Network Inc. (Robert Wilkins, president) for a reported sale price of $450,000.[4] In 2012, Wilkins Radio started broadcasting on its FM translator (W239AP) at 95.7 in Mobile, Alabama. The programming on FM is a simulcast of WIJD AM 1270. The translation is operating as W250CB at 97.9 as of December 12, 2016.
