Joy FM extends signal to N. Atlanta

WVFJ 93.3 FM is now reaching farther into the Atlanta market with its contemporary Christian format and popular Christian talk programs such as Dr. James Dobson's Focus on the Family.

The new transmitter and 1,600-foot tower, located in Meriwether County, utilize the latest digital technology. This enhances WVFJ's signal quality and expands coverage from the Macon area to the Metro Atlanta counties of Cobb, Fulton, Dekalb and South Gwinnett.

New studios and offices are currently under construction in the Publix shopping center in eastern Peachtree City. The project is expected to be completed by Sept. 1.

The station is now the first-ever commercial FM signal with a contemporary Christian format to broadcast within Atlanta's Interstate 285 perimeter. The 1,600-foot tower is the tallest in Georgia without a TV antenna.

WVFJ 93.3 will undergo several on-air changes as well, including transition from the current tag, "The Joy FM," to "J 93.3, Atlanta's Contemporary Christian FM." The format remains the same, featuring music from a variety of artists including Bob Carlisle, Michael W. Smith, Amy Grant, DC Talk and the NewsBoys.

The station was recently named the number 20 radio station in the Atlanta market, and Arbitron estimates its cume persons (number of different people who listen to a station for at least five minutes in a quarter-hour) at 101,200.

For more information about the changes at "J 93.3, Atlanta's Contemporary Christian FM," contact station General Manager Rick Davison at 404-335-9330.
