In January 2017, WIBT and its urban contemporary format moved to WLTM 97.9 FM, replacing that station's adult contemporary format, and 104.7 switched to gospel and re-adopted its former call sign, WJIW, on February 8, 2017.[3]
WJIW was purchased from Mondy-Burke Broadcasting by Educational Media Foundation in late 2017. The sale was consummated on December 14, 2017 at a price of $500,000, at which point WJIW briefly went silent. On December 15, 2017, WJIW started airing K-Love programming from Educational Media Foundation. The station changed its call sign to WLRJ on December 22, 2017.
