WJNS (1530 kHz) was a radio station licensed to Yazoo City, Mississippi.[1][2] It operated during daytime hours only, and ran 250 watts.[2]
The station began broadcasting April 19, 1974, and originally held the call sign WYAZ.[1][2] WYAZ's studio was located in a house trailer in a cornfield one mile north of Yazoo City.[3] The station was owned by Gateway Broadcasting, with State Representative Joel Netherland owning controlling interest.[2][4][5] In 1981, the station was sold to Chicago evangelist James Baker, and its call sign was changed to WPJJ.[5][6] It was repurchased by Gateway Broadcasting in 1983, and its call sign was changed to WJNS.[7][6] The purchase made the AM a sister to WJNS-FM, which had been on the air since 1968. Its license was cancelled March 6, 1986.[6]
