Quick Facts Frequency, Ownership ...

College president Jimmy Jenkins was inspired to start WLJZ by his experience with helping start a station at Elizabeth City State University. Artists played on WLJZ include Marvin Gaye, Stevie Wonder and The Supremes. Students contribute a lot of the programming, but WLJZ remains on the air during the summer. In the future, sponsors may help to fund the station. One plan is to have professors at the college explain music as they play it. Although the signal only covers Salisbury, a new tower is planned that will provide more coverage to Rowan County.[3]
