WDJL

WDJL (1000 AM, "Gospel Explosions") is a daytime-only radio station licensed to Huntsville, Alabama, that serves the Tennessee Valley and surrounding areas. The station is owned by Dorothy Sandifer (doing business as WDJL Gospel Explosions). The station broadcasts a Christian radio format featuring a mix of gospel music, religious programming, and sermons.

Because WDJL shares the same frequency as "clear channel" station WMVP in Chicago, Illinois, this station only broadcasts during the daytime hours.

Programming

Weekday local programming includes a mixed program of Christian music, Gospel jazz, sermons, teaching programs, and other features. Weekend programming is a mix of gospel music, sermons, and other religious programming.

History

From 1968 until 1979 this frequency was operated as 10,000 watt daytime-only Top 40 station WVOV, the "Voice of the Valley." In 1979, the station flipped to a country music format before falling temporarily silent.

In May 1981 the station returned as WTAK, "Take-10," with an adult contemporary format and morning team Mike Sweeney and Gary Drake. Limited by the daytime-only restrictions, the station went through several formats and owners including Oldies, Urban Fusion, and Rock/Classic rock.
