History
When it
New Orleans Times-Picayune daily newspaper (the call sign stood for "Times-Picayune Station") and was a network affiliate of the Mutual Broadcasting System
.
In 1958, it became WYLD. WYLD was a successful
urban contemporary format shifted to 98.5 WYLD-FM. The AM station evolved to a community-oriented R&B and soul music
sound in the 1980s to its current format in the 1990s.
On May 24, 2017, WYLD rebranded as "Hallelujah 940".[3]
On April 27, 2020, the station began broadcasting in C-QUAM AM stereo using a new Nautel NX-10 transmitter, installed under the direction of then iHeartMedia Engineering Manager, Christopher Boone, WB5ITT. It is the only AM station in Louisiana currently broadcasting with the technology. It also uses MDCL, Modulation Density Carrier Level, during the daytime hours only.
