WEJS (1600 AM) is a classic country radio station in Jersey Shore, Pennsylvania, United States branded as "Bigfoot Legends." WEJS' first air date was August 1, 1979. WEJS previously programmed a mix of general-interest and conservative talk radio from Salem Radio Network and Westwood One, alongside sports talk from Fox Sports Radio. The station also carries high school sports, Pennsylvania College of Technology athletics, and national sports from Sports USA Radio Network. History The then-WJSA was originally an AM-only radio station authorized to operate during the daytime at 1600 on the dial. Though not in a Christian format, the station did air some daily devotional programs. In the fall of 1980, the station's owner, Williamsport businessman Ken Breon, sought the help of John Hogg, seeking his expertise in broadcasting engineering and programming. Within the year, Hogg was made General Manager. Under Hogg's management and with Breon's agreement and involvement, the station changed the format to full-time Christian programming. The AM station also extended its hours of operation and improved coverage. The birth of WJSA-FM 24 years ago, Hogg identified an available FM frequency which would provide extended coverage and allow 24 hours a day service. Two years later the FCC granted the application and Light for Life. WJSA-FM began broadcasting on November 1, 1984 with a power of 3,000 Watts at 93.5 FM. A new company to operate the facilities was formed, Covenant Broadcast Company, a partnership between Breon and Hogg. Expanding the FM coverage Almost immediately, Hogg identified the opportunity for several stations in the area to upgrade their signal strength by changing frequencies. In the early spring of 1997 this power upgrade was realized and Light for Life WJSA's frequency was changed to 96.3 FM with a power equivalent of 25,000 Watts. 2014 changes Effective January 17, 2014, Covenant Broadcast Company sold WJSA to Todd Bartley's Pioneer Sports Productions, LLC at a purchase price of $50,000. On January 21, 2014, the station's call sign was changed to the current WEJS. The station dropped the Christian radio simulcast with former sister station WJSA-FM (96.3 FM) and FM translator W263AG (100.5 FM), and started broadcasting a sports radio format as 1600 AM ESPN. 2015 changes Bartley transferred WEJS' license to his wholly owned Colonial Radio Group of Williamsport, LLC on August 17, 2015. 2016 changes On May 18, 2016, the Court of Common Pleas of Lycoming County issued an Order
