WGJU
Former owner Baraga Broadcasting's namesake is Frederic Baraga, a missionary to Native American tribes and later the first Bishop of the Sault Sainte Marie Catholic diocese, which is now the Diocese of Marquette.
Brief history
WGJU had its beginnings as WZHN, a simulcast of WPHN owned by Northern Christian Radio in Gaylord. In 2008 WZHN became WRQC airing Contemporary Christian music as "91.3 The Rock." WRQC briefly went silent in January 2011 returning to the air as WGJU. Originally Baraga Broadcasting obtained a construction permit for the 88.9 frequency in Tawas City but instead purchased WRQC, hence the construction permit for 88.9 was dropped.[2]
Baraga Broadcasting acquired the former WRQC in July 2012.
On December 11, 2019, WGJU and its sister stations were acquired by Immaculate Heart Media, bringing Relevant Radio programming to Northern Michigan.
