History [link]

The radio station, which is the current WNIV, has had a long history in the Atlanta radio market. The station first signed on in Decatur in the 1950s with an easy listening radio format with the original callsign WGLS, and later picked up the callsign WTAM when the Cleveland, OH station changed to KYW. In the 1960s, it changed to WIIN.[1][2] In 1968, WIIN flipped to a Top 40 format.[1][3] During the early 1970s WIIN changed format to progressive rock.[4] WIIN became an adult standards/easy listening station in the late 1970s.[1] In the early 1980s, the station changed call signs to WKLS and format to rock [1] by simulcasting WKLS-FM. The rock format simulcast of WKLS-FM at 970 kHz lasted until 1988 when the station was sold,[2] the callsigns changed to the current WNIV,[2] and the station adopted religious format programming.[1]

Former Georgia Congressman Pat Swindall hosted a daily talk show on WNIV for several years, after serving a federal prison sentence.

Still In Love

by: Nivea

Still in love
Still in love
Still in love
Still in love
Thinkin' maybe
Things are gonna turn around
Despite the arguments
We can see eye-to-eye
Over (over), Over (over)
Keeps playin' in my mind
This here ain't right for me
Too young to be held down
I fall for you
Each time, each time
This ain't no sayin'
I get stuck
All of the good times
Way down, the bad times
Guess that's why I'm still in love
Still in love with you
Despite all we go through
I can't turn away
You know that I'm still in love with you
You know that I can't give up
I'm still in love with you
Got all,
My girls
Tellin' me to just let it go
Tellin' me that it's just love lost
But I know (I know)
Got all,
My girls
Tellin' me I should free my heart
If it was so simple I would
I fall for you
Each time, each time
This ain't no sayin'
I get stuck
All of the good times
Way down, the bad times
Guess that's why I'm still in love
Still in love with you
Despite all we go through
I can't turn away
You know that I'm still in love with you
You know that I can't give up
I'm still in love with you
Still in love wit' ya
I'm so in love wit' ya
Still in love wit' ya
I'm so in love wit' ya
Still in love wit' ya
I'm so in love wit' ya
Still in love wit' ya
Still in love with you
Despite all we go through
I can't turn away
You know that I'm still in love with you
You know that I can't give up
I'm still in love with you
