WJKN-FM (89.3
WJKN-FM began broadcasting in 2005 and took over the Power Praise FM format that had been on sister station
In September 2008, WJKN-FM dropped the "Vibe" format and relaunched as 89.3 The Message, featuring a combination of adult-contemporary Christian music and teaching similar to competing station WUFN.
In December 2014, the "Message" format was moved to sister station KTGG 1540 AM and WJKN became a full-time simulcast of WSAE's "HOME.fm" format. WJKN-FM, however, continued to carry hourly newscasts from the Salem Radio Network, which were not heard over WSAE.
On September 21, 2020, WJKN-FM split from its simulcast with WSAE and changed their format to contemporary Christian, branded as "89.3 The Arbor".[1] All of the translator frequencies in the "Home.FM" network were flipped to "The Arbor", leaving WSAE 106.9 FM as the only remaining "Home.FM" station. In a nod to the old Power Praise FM, "The Arbor" is hosted by Spring Arbor students. The station also breaks from its normal Christian Hot AC format for a two-hour block of Christian Hip-Hop and Rhythmic music called "Breakaway," airing weeknights at 8pm.
On May 3, 2022, the station rebranded as "The Arbor FM".[2]
