To facilitate this and other plans for growth, much of the media ministry operations will be relocated to a larger space that will provide greater access to advanced technology, equipment and the broadcast tower.

Is the station being sold to free itself from the management oversight of the college and the church. To be independent in its programing, to offer non-suppurative Adventist programs. Perhaps to charter a course more secular or political than allowed as a church entity?

It is a good move. The 21st century radio station demands modern equipment that allows radio hosts to stream live events and being able to entertain guests using the power of social media to go into all the world in a new state-of-the-art facility. Congrats and let us all support WGTS Originally, the station was a general broadcaster offering public radio news programming and classical music, along with some Christian programming such as worship services from nearby Sligo Seventh-day Adventist Church.

But in , one year after the late John Konrad became vice president and general manager of the FM outlet, the classical programming was abruptly dropped, with the station going silent for five days before switching to its current format of contemporary Christian music programming.

Ultimately, however, the station remained with the school, which later announced a massive restructuring to resolve the financial crisis. The Washington Post noted that a change in radio ratings systems gave the outlet a boost.

It beat sports talk, classical music and conservative political talk stations, too. As it continues to grow, this valued ministry will maintain its denominational status and strong ties to the union.
