WORJ History |
| The LPFM station is licensed to Weirsdale, a community located to the southeast of Ocala. The Marconi Broadcasting Foundation purchased the station from Weirsdale Women in Broadcasting Association for $10,000 in 2011. Plans are to air programs in foreign languages, classic radio programming and even some syndicated fare. Marconi said they will attempt to serve a “demographic of the population that is not commonly serviced by broadcasters or educational institutions on a full-time basis because neither schools or broadcasters consider this an attractive demographic.” Marconi was referring to those aged 55 and up. English programming will be supplemented by offerings in other languages commonly used in the area. It will include old-time radio soap operas, religious programming, and “programs that deal with the specifics of marriage, alcohol abuse, senior finance, and aging in general…”Seniors will also be able to take classes in broadcasting and learn to produce their own programs. There will also be news and public affairs programming, some of which will seek to teach younger demographics about “all aspects of senior life.” Among the syndicated programs coming in are offerings from Dave Ramsey and "Focus on the Family". |
