KWWJ


KWWJ is a non-commercial AM radio station licensed to Baytown, Texas, and serving Greater Houston. It airs an urban contemporary gospel radio format, and is owned by Salt of the Earth Broadcasting. The station is branded as Gospel 96.9 & 1360 KWWJ.
By day, KWWJ is powered at 5,000 watts. But to protect other stations on AM 1360, it reduces power to 1,000 watts at night. It also has a construction permit from the Federal Communications Commission to change its nighttime power to 800 watts. The transmitter and studios are on Wade Road and Decker Road in Baytown. Programming is also heard on an FM translator, K245CQ at 96.9 MHz.

History

In October 1947, the station signed on as KREL. It was owned by Tri-Cities Broadcasting. The studio building, transmitter building, and three-tower array for "'Gospel 1360 KWWJ"' are all original to the 1360 facility.
In 1988, the station was acquired by current owner Salt of The Earth Broadcasting. In 2017, KWWJ began broadcasting on its FM translator at 96.9 MHz. On March 3, 2018, 1360 celebrated its 70th year of operation from the original location on Decker Rd. & Loop 330 in Baytown, Texas.
