History:

1360 premiered in 1960 as WLIQ, a classy easy listening station. Later became a MoR station, though it struggled being a directional daytimer. Has been off the air at times and had different call letters... The station was country and top 40 in the 70's, then all talk as WPCY. Sold in the 80's to syndicated preacher Buddy Tucker, it has been WMOB with the same religious format since then. The studio is located with the transmitter (see above) and has night time power added. The signal is excellent.
