[2] The station had originally been broadcasting a variety of music (mostly oldies), and public-service announcements in what appeared to be an early test period since it had been moved to Douglasville.
On March 4, 2016 WXJO was granted an FCC construction permit to increase power to 10,000 watts daytime only and change the antenna from nondirectional to directional by erecting a second tower.
[3] In January 2016, the owners of WXJO filed an application to the Federal Communications Commission for special temporary authorization to become silent, which was granted.
[4][5] The station went on the air as WCIK in 1968 on 1560 kHz, originally licensed to serve the city of Gordon, Georgia.
In March 2000, the station changed call signs to the current WXJO, previously used on what is now KXBS in Bethalto, Illinois.
