WOKJ

The original WOKJ in Jackson, Mississippi broadcast at 1590 AM and was the first Black-oriented radio station in the state.  It was on the air from the mid-1950s until the mid-1960s.  This sticker from the next WOKJ was at 1550 AM and was on the air from around 1965 until going silent in 1990.  They were bought and sold multiple times with various formats over the years including R&B/Gospel, Easy Listening, Country and Album Oriented Rock.
