WAJC 88.1 FM is a radio station licensed to Newport, Minnesota, and serving the south central Minneapolis–Saint Paul metropolitan area. The station broadcasts a Contemporary Christian music format and is owned by the Maranatha Assembly of God Church. Its transmitter is located in a park near Coates.
On April 19, 2010, the FCC granted a construction permit to the Religious Information Network for a new noncommercial radio station on 88.1 MHz at Newport, a southeastern suburb of the Twin Cities. RIN intended to program a listener-supported station with a variety of Christian and community programming. [3] [4] [5] [6] The first two letters of its call sign, WAJC, stood for the station manager's father, Walter Martin, and the last two stood for Jesus Christ. [4] [5] [7] Its slogan was "Radio With a Mission". [4] Among the programming planned for the station were recordings of Walter Martin's radio program, The Bible Answer Man. [5] [7]
The station began broadcasting in April 2013 and was branded "The Remnant". [8] [9] "The Remnant" was the student-produced Christian rock format from the University of Northwestern – St. Paul, which was simulcast on the HD4 subchannel of that school's KTIS-FM. [10] In 2016, the station was sold to the Maranatha Assembly of God Church for $52,000. [11] [12]
In 2017, Maranatha Assembly of God Church purchased FM translator 91.7 W219DT in North Branch, Minnesota for $50,000, and the translator began rebroadcasting WAJC. [13] [14]
