History

After the Federal Communications Commission granted a construction permit in February 2014, the St. Joseph Catholic Church began construction of a new religious radio station in the Bowling Green area. The station's transmitter was erected in February 2017, five months after the church purchased the tower. In March 2017, WSGJ-LP went on the air as the Bowling Green area's fourth religious radio station after WAYD/Auburn and WCVK, along with W203BI, which is a translator of WLOG-FM of Markleysburg, Pennsylvania. WSGJ-LP has also became the fifth low-powered FM station in the area not repeating another locally based analog radio station's signal.

WSGP-LP went on the air with an affiliation with EWTN Radio. Some programming outside of the EWTN radio lineup originates from partner station WIMM-LP in Owensboro, thereby simulcasting that station's local programming.[1]

Coverage area

The station's signal mainly serves the Warren County area. If WSGJ gets approval to increase its effective radiated power to 250 watts (0.25 kW), nearby sections of surrounding counties could be added to the station's signal coverage area.
