History

WGLY-FM began broadcasting in 1996, holding the call sign WCMK.[1][2] The station's call sign was changed to WGLY-FM in 1999.[2]

WGLG was formerly WNGF, owned by Northeast Gospel Broadcasting; in August 2013, Christian Ministries reached a deal to acquire WNGF.[8] Upon the deal's completion on April 15, 2014,[9] WNGF's call letters were changed to WGLG.[10][11]

WFAD was formerly owned by Northeast Broadcasting; in December 2022, Christian Ministries agreed to acquire the station.[12] Following the deal's completion in February 2023, WFAD was expected to switch from carrying Northeast's The Point network to The Light.[13]
