History [link]
WJHD-FM first went into service on October 16, 1972. Father Geoffrey Chase served as the station trustee during the 1970s, 1980s, and 1990s. During most of those years, the station was only operational nights and weekends, playing classical music.[citation needed]
In 1999, Father Edmund assumed responsibility for managing the staff and setting the operating hours. Debuting "The Blue Monk," Edmund's show played requests for faculty, parents, and members of the Rhode Island State Police who were listening while on patrol.[citation needed]
