WJYM

===As WJYM===
On October 14, 1976, WMGS was sold to the Jimmy Swaggart Evangelistic Association, and became WJYM "Son Life Radio." The call letters are evocative of the name "Jim", after owner Jimmy Swaggart. For many years, the station operated locally with a full staff of approximately 12. In the mid 1990s, WJYM carried [[Bowling Green State University]] football and basketball games.

By 1980, the station's on-air operations moved to its transmitter facility along Fremont Pike in Rossford, where they remained for the rest of the 20th Century.  Advances made in hard-disk computer-based [[broadcast automation]] and the Telecommunications Act of 1996 was passed, which relieved many stations of the main studio rule that required a studio and management presence within close proximity of the community of license.  At that point, on-air functions were moved to the ministry's headquarters in [[Baton Rouge, Louisiana]]. Though station signage remains outside the transmitter facility, it is, for the most part, unattended.  Except for some computerized local announcements, WJYM is basically a [[simulcast]] of [[WJFM]], the [[flagship (broadcasting)|flagship station]] for Jimmy Swaggart Ministries.
