It was one of three radio stations owned by Arthur Wilkerson of Lenoir City, Tennessee. WLIJ was one of the few AM stations to use the Motorola C-QUAM AM Stereo system.[1]

Programming

WLIJ's programming includes "The Old-Time Country Radio Show" with Ken Fly and Paul Jones, which started with Jones and Pete Crim on WEKR in Fayetteville, Tennessee in 1998 and moved to WLIJ, still broadcast live from the BBQ Caboose Cafe in Lynchburg, Tennessee at 10 A.M. on Saturdays.[2]

Paul and Nadine Hopkins bought WLIJ and WZNG, and Paul began a Bluegrass program which aired on WLIJ. Paul and J. Gregory Heinike began "J. Gregory Jamboree," a live two-hour program broadcast from J. Gregory's restaurant in Bell Buckle, Tennessee.[3]

gollark: I didn't say that that produces *good* outcomes for people involved.
gollark: Apparently the (or at least a) reason for this problem is that a degree works as a proxy for some minimum standard at stuff like being able to consistently do sometimes-boring things for 4 years, remember information and do things with it, and manage to go to class on time. So it's useful information regardless of whether the employer actually needs your specialized knowledge at all (in many cases, they apparently do not). And they're increasingly common, so *not* having one is an increasing red flag - you may have some sort of objection to the requirement for them, but that can't be distinguished from you just not being able to get one.
gollark: The solution, clearly, is to ban asking people if they have degrees when hiring, and force them to be tested on other things instead.
gollark: That wouldn't destroy it.
gollark: The most feasible way would probably be to deorbit the earth with MANY mass drivers.
