History

In October 1947, the station signed on as KREL. [3] It was owned by Tri-Cities Broadcasting. The studio building, transmitter building, and three-tower array for "'Gospel 1360 KWWJ"' are all original to the 1360 facility.

San Diego radio investor Jack O. Gross owned the station as KBUK in the 1970s and early 1980s. His estate sold it after his death in 1985. [4]

In 1988, the station was acquired by current owner Salt of The Earth Broadcasting. [5] In 2017, KWWJ began broadcasting on its FM translator at 96.9 MHz. On March 3, 2018, 1360 celebrated its 70th year of operation from the original location on Decker Rd. & Loop 330 in Baytown, Texas.
