WXJY is an Urban gospel radio station licensed to Georgetown, South Carolina and serving the Grand Strand area. The former Cumulus Media outlet is licensed by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) to broadcast at 93.7 MHz with an ERP of 6 kW.

History

WSCA-FM signed on at 93.7 in Georgetown playing classic rock but later joined with WJXY-FM, changing its letters to WXJY. As WJXY's simulcast partner, WXJY was "Cruisin' Country", with a mix of country and rock music, then rhythmic as "Hot 93". Hot 93 changed to contemporary hit radio and added WSEA as a simulcast partner. Then WJXY-FM, WXJY and WIQB became ESPN Radio affiliates as "The Team" in 2003.

WXJY changed its simulcast partner to WSEA in July 2010, changing its format to contemporary hit radio.

WXJY once again simulcast WJXY. In 2013, the station aired a Southern rock/country music format called "The Outlaw".

On September 20, 2016 Cumulus' Joule Broadcasting announced that WJXY/WXJY will be sold to Colonial Radio Group for $240,000.

On February 9, 2017 WXJY changed simulcast partners from WJXY to WMIR and changed their format to urban gospel, branded as "Rejoice 93.7".
