History edit
The station was licensed as WKGI. On February 14, 1987, the call sign was changed to WATQ-FM. Its call sign was next changed on August 28, 1995, when it became WETZ-FM.[2] WETZ-FM moved from New Martinsville, West Virginia to Vienna, West Virginia sometime in January 2010. The station can only be heard in New Martinsville via a distant signal, but now serves the Parkersburg/Marietta area.
The station was assigned the callsign WNRJ by the Federal Communications Commission on August 1, 2011.[3]
On January 4, 2017, WNRJ changed formats to modern gospel music (playing current and progressive southern gospel), branded as "Praise FM 103.9". Praise FM 103.9 is a tier one charting station for the Singing News Top 80 monthly chart - one of eight stations in the United States.
On November 13, 2023, WNRJ changed its call sign to WJOE.[4]
