In May 1981, Monty McAnnally signed on a Class D daytime-only AM radio station with a secular rock n’ roll format. Fast-forward to 2000, when Rev. Gerald Parks acquired the station, moved it to Main Street in Williamsburg, Ky., and established a 24/7 Gospel format.
For 20 years, the Parks family generated accolades and listeners. But, trouble began in 2012 when a license renewal application was put on “red light” status for unpaid regulatory fees. Then came the station’s deletion. Parks sought to reverse that decision. The FCC has now declined the request.
