Family Radio Network purchased 1490 AM WWIL in 1993 and, while the station struggled at first, the station was soon doing so well that Jim Stephens planned an FM station.
90.5 FM WWIL signed on in 1995 with 20,000 watts and a contemporary Christian music format that included Sandi Patti, Michael W. Smith, Wayne Watson and First Call as well as talk show hosts Chuck Colson, D. James Kennedy, Joni Eareckson Tada and Chuck Swindoll.
