History
In 1996, the station first signed on as WAGQ.[3] It broadcast a Christian adult contemporary format and was owned by Hi I-Q Radio, Inc. It was powered at 1,500 watts, with its signal limited to communities around Brunswick. WAGQ was bought by Good Tidings Trust, Inc. in November 1998 for $100,000.[4]
The call sign was changed to WAYR-FM. Way Radio increased the station's power to 2,300 watts a short time later. In the mid 2000s, it increased its power to 14,000 watts, extending its coverage to an 85-mile stretch of Interstate 95 between Camden County to the south and Liberty County to the north, and west to Wayne and Brantley Counties.
