WSJS (600 AM) is a commercial radio station licensed to Winston-Salem, North Carolina, and broadcasting to the Greensboro/Winston-Salem/High Point media market.

WSJS is owned by the Truth Broadcasting Corporation, with studios and offices in The Factory Building on North Main Street in Kernersville.

[8] Three days later, the station aired live coverage of the Easter Sunrise Service from God's Acre in Old Salem.

[10] With WSJS owned by the two local newspapers, the original studios were in the papers' newsroom in downtown Winston-Salem.

In May 1941 the studios were moved to a building on North Spruce Street designed for broadcasting and the frequency changed from 1310 to 600 kHz.

Switching to the NBC Red Network in June 1940, the station aired Fibber McGee and Molly, Edgar Bergen and Charlie McCarthy, and shows hosted by Red Skelton, Bob Hope, Kay Kyser, Fred Allen and Fred Waring.

[10] Gordon Gray bought the newspapers and the radio station in 1937, and Harold Essex of Chicago became the manager.

[10] In 1941, Gray added an FM station, W41MM,[10] with its tower near Mount Mitchell, hence its call sign change in 1943 to WMIT.

The newspapers were sold to Media General in 1968, but longtime publisher Gordon Gray formed Triangle Broadcasting to hold onto the WSJS stations.

When the FCC ruled that one person could not own a television station and a cable system in the same market, Gray sold off WSJS-TV; it is now WXII-TV.

Lee left radio in 1982 but his career included roles in several movies and TV shows, and he was the narrator of Beyond the Wheel, a program about NASCAR on The Speed Channel.

[16][17] In 1979, Glenn Scott moved from WXII to WSJS to replace Williams as morning host, a position he held for almost 30 years.

[21] NewMarket Media Corp. sold WSJS and WTQR to Radio Equity Partners of Norwalk, Connecticut, in a deal completed in April 1994 and worth in excess of $100 million.

[22] After more than 20 years, Wake Forest University stopped airing its football and basketball games on WSJS, moving to the first of several stronger FM stations.

[23] Gene Overby, also WSJS sports director prior to his death in 1989, was play-by-play announcer for Wake Forest for 17 years.

[24][25] In August 1998, WSML in Graham, North Carolina, formerly a gospel music station, began airing the same programming as WSJS most of the time.

When Clear Channel merged with AMFM, WSJS was sold to CBS Radio (then called Infinity) in 2000.

[30] The Infinity purchase meant WSJS dropped Paul Harvey and added Charles Osgood and The Dan Rather Report.

[31] WSJS carried the Winston-Salem Warthogs minor league baseball team for two seasons starting in 2003.

[34] On February 14, 2007, WSJS (along with its sister station WMFR and simulcast partner WSML) was sold by CBS to Raleigh-based Curtis Media Group.

[38] Also in 2007, Brian Freeman became news and programming director, as well as morning host, replacing Scott, who announced his retirement May 14.

Curtis Media Group announced that WSJS/WSML would no longer carry The Rush Limbaugh Show after December 31, 2009.

[40][41] WSJS realigned its programming on March 13, 2012, when a locally produced show hosted by Brad Krantz and Britt Whitmire and the syndicated Neal Boortz and Clark Howard shows moved to WSJS, as well as sister station WPTK in Raleigh, from WZTK (which changed formats).

[44] In 2016, after nearly 50 years on Fifth Street, WSJS announced its studios would move to a reconverted factory building in Kernersville.

[49] Prior to the attack, the station had filed a request with the FCC to move their transmitter location to a new site currently used by WPOL and WSMX.
