In March 1996, the WOAD call letters and gospel format moved to the more powerful 1300 kHz, after swapping frequencies with then-sister station [[WJQS|WKXI]].

On January 11, 2004, WOAD started simulcasting on FM—at 105.9.

July 2, 2009, WOAD dropped its FM simulcast and resumed AM-only broadcasting.
