Catholic programming
WGLB-FM was owned by Joel Kinlow until 2003. That's when he sold the station to Catholic broadcaster Starboard Radio, the forerunner to Relevant Radio. WGLB-FM signed off the air on May 21, 2003. Following a facilities upgrade, WPJP officially debuted on August 22, 2003. Kinlow continued to own 1560 AM, which retains the WGLB call sign and airs an
urban gospel
format.
WPJP's call letters changed to WSJP-FM on March 17, 2014, just over a month before Pope John Paul II, the station's namesake, was canonized as a saint on April 27 of the same year.
