WYJS has made an overnight switch from blues to black gospel. Its call letters are now WOAD-FM, and its nickname is Praise 105.9. (WOAD-AM [1300], which has had the black-gospel format since the '80s, remains on the air.)
Praise 105.9 is the second FM black-gospel station to be had in Jackson, Mississippi. Last month, Clear Channel-owned WDBT (now WHLH--and bka 95.5 Hallelujah FM) made the switch to black gospel.
Since WYJS--as a commercial, FM blues station (1/13/2003-1/11/2004)--did poorly in recent Arbitron ratings, I thought a format change was inevitable (and forthcoming).
