WROS (1050 kHz) is a commercial AM radio station broadcasting a Christian radio format. Licensed to Jacksonville, Florida, the station is currently owned by The Rose of Jacksonville.[1] WROS airs national religious leaders such as Dr. David Jeremiah, John MacArthur, Jim Daly, Chuck Colson and Dr. Charles Stanley. Hosts pay for their time on the station and may ask for donations while on the air.

WROS is powered in the daytime at 5,000 watts. But because AM 1050 is a clear channel frequency, WROS must greatly reduce power at night to 13 watts to avoid interfering with other stations.

History

The station went on the air in 1955[2]. On October 5, 1981, the station changed its call sign to the current WROS.[3]
