HOPE FM branded christian radio programming is broadcast on the station's HD3 subchannel, which is simulcast on four FM translators.

History

The Federal Communications Commission granted John M. Norris a construction permit for the station on July 22, 1959 with the WGCB-FM call sign.[4] The station was granted its first license on August 1, 1960.[4] WGCB-FM aired a christian radio format.

The station's license was voluntarily assigned to Red Lion Broadcasting Company, Inc., effective May 23, 1963.[4]

In 1969, Red Lion Broadcasting lost a landmark First Amendment case (Red Lion Broadcasting Co. v. FCC), after the station refused to grant free on-air time for a journalist to rebutt the claims made against him by an on-air evangelist.[5]

In August 1997 the station's license was transferred from Thomas H. Moffit, Sr., to Pioneer Broadcasting Corporation, followed by a call sign change to WTHM-FM on December 5, 1997.[6] On July 1, 1998, the call sign was changed to WSOX.[6] In March 2003, the license was transferred from Pioneer Broadcasting Corporation to Lancaster-York Broadcasting, LLC (owned by Brill Media[7]) and four months later, in July 2003, the license was transferred from Lancaster-York Broadcasting, LLC to Susquehanna License, LLC,[8] which was owned by Susquehanna Radio Corporation.[9]

On October 31, 2005, Cumulus Media announced the creation of a new private partnership, Cumulus Media Partners, LLC, formed with Bain Capital, The Blackstone Group and Thomas H. Lee Partners, to purchase Susquehanna Radio Corporation for approximately $1.2 billion.[10] The purchase was completed on May 5, 2006,[11] at which time the license for WSOX was transferred to Radio License Holding SRC, LLC., a licensee of Cumulus Media Partners Susquehanna Corporation.[12]

Translators

The following four translators are licensed to Hope Christian Church of Marlton, Inc, and simulcast the programming of HOPE FM (owned by Calvary Chapel of Marlton[13]) broadcast on WSOX-HD3:

Signal Note

WSOX is short-spaced to two other stations: WHUR-FM 96.3 WHUR (licensed to serve Washington, D.C.) and WWIN-FM Magic 95.9 (licensed to serve Glen Burnie, Maryland).

WSOX and WHUR-FM operate on first adjacent channels (96.1 & 96.3) and the cities they are licensed to serve are only 72 miles apart.[14] The minimum distance between two Class B stations operating on first adjacent channels according to current FCC rules is 105 miles.[15]

WSOX and WWIN-FM also operate on first adjacent channels (95.9 & 96.1) and the cities they are licensed to serve are only 51 miles apart.[16] The minimum distance between a Class B station (WSOX) and a Class A station (WWIN-FM) operating on first adjacent channels according to current FCC rules is 70 miles.[15]

WSOX uses a directional antenna to reduce its signal toward the south-southwest, in the direction of these two stations.[3]
