History

In June 2011, Apex Broadcasting applied to the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) for a construction permit for a new broadcast radio station. The FCC granted this permit on July 19, 2011, with a scheduled expiration date of July 19, 2014.^[1] The new station was assigned call sign "WALJ" on July 27, 2011.^[2]

On September 26, 2011, WALJ signed on the air with a mainstream urban radio format, branded as "105.1 Jamz". The FCC has accepted the station's formal license application and WALJ is operating under program test authority.

On July 20, 2012, Cox Radio, Inc. announced that the programming rights of WALJ would be turned over to Summit Media LLC for $66.25 million as part of a 22 station sale. The transfer/sale was consummated on May 3, 2013.^[3]^[4]
