History
In January 1995, Christian radio station WHVN in Charlotte, North Carolina began airing its programming on this station[2].
At one time, this station had the letters WAME and an adult standards format. Then-owners GHB Broadcasting switched the format to Sports Talk and changed the callsign to WQIS.
In 2006, Glory Communications Inc. purchased WEAF from Colonial Radio Group Inc., and the format was gospel music.[3]
From 1922 to 1946, WEAF was the callsign of the radio station that became WNBC and the flagship station of the NBC Red network.[4] This station is now known as WFAN (AM) in New York.[1] In the mid-1970s, WEAF was the callsign of the current WGBT in Eden, North Carolina.
Ownership
Colonial Radio Group acquired then-WQIS in 2003.[5] In April 2006, Glory Communications Inc. (Alex Snipe, president) reached an agreement to purchase WEAF from Colonial Radio Group Inc. (Jeffrey Andrulonis, president) for a reported sale price of $222,500.[6]
