History

Humboldt-Milan-Trenton Broadcasting Co. was issued a construction permit for a new 250-watt daytime-only station on 740 kHz in Humboldt in June 1948. Its principals were J. Frank Warmath, Thomas N. Hobbs, and Robert S. Kelly. After changing the corporate name to Gibson County Broadcasting Company and taking on the WIRJ call sign, the station signed on January 20, 1949.
The Federal Communications Commission cancelled the station’s license on October 31, 2024.
