WWIL (1490 AM) was a radio station broadcasting a gospel format, licensed to Wilmington, North Carolina, United States.
Stephens struggled financially after moving to Wilmington but he got numerous cards and letters from people who enjoyed the contemporary Christian music and nationally syndicated ministers.
As of 1999, the AM station aired "God's Country" during the day, including Ricky Skaggs, The Gatlin Brothers and traditional Southern gospel.
At night and early in the morning, the station played urban gospel such as Andrae Crouch and Shirley Caesar.
