History

The station signed on the air as WNLE on Halloween, October 31, 1986.[3] It was owned by the Nassau Baptist College and was originally licensed to Fernandina Beach, Florida. On September 21, 2006, WNLE changed its call sign to WJBC-FM, and again on May 4, 2010 to WTRJ-FM.[4]

Programming on WTRJ-FM originally was heard at 88.1 WCRJ. On May 1, 2011, it moved to 91.7 and 91.9 to better cover the Jacksonville radio market. 88.1 WCRJ is now airing Contemporary Christian music from "The Joy FM." In the early 2010s, WTRJ-FM switched its city of license from Fernandina Beach to Orange Park, although the transmitter and studios remain in Jacksonville.
