History:: One of the more recent dial-additions to Birmingham radio, this station was put on the air by Briarwood Presbyterian Church. It was originally only to be 10 watts and located at the church campus off I-459, and was going to be a small outlet to bring church services to those who couldn't get out to church in the immediate area. The power was increased and the transmitter put high atop Oak Mountain to reach more people with network programming, though. More recently the station received a construction permit to move off Oak Mountain to the Ruffner Mountain area of east Birmingham, with an increase in power and persons-covered. That permit was changed, with the power increase coming from their current transmitter site. It was dismissed in January 2010.
