Anyone heard of this station? It is from Beattyville,Ky. It has been on the air for 25 years. TBN tried to buy them out a few years ago, took the station to court and lost. They play a lot of old time religious music. They get prayer requests from all across the US and some from overseas.

why would TBN take them to court or why did they?

I've have heard of WLJC, I listen to it when I want a touch of "Down Home." I was born in south eastern Kentucky, and there are times I get a bit homesick for the southern sound.
Listening to this station reminds me of being in my old home church, Millers Chapel Baptist Church up the hill from my Mamaw's house. I've learned many vintage songs from watching the program, and use them in our fellowships ... our older folks love them, and our younger ones are learning to appreciate them as well.
The sound and style is definately not contemporary, but I have an idea they aren't losing any sleep over it. For me ... I simply love it.

Yeah, most of my family is from that area, and some I know have went down to sing on that station, or have helped with fund raising. I don't know the specifics on a court battle with TBN, but I do know they play some of TBN's programing as well as their own locally filmed programs. (or at least they did a few years ago, I don't get it with satellite, and didn't watch it too much before). That may have been part of the suit, it may not have been as much of a take over as a dispute over use of TBN programming on a non-affiliated channel.
