WAYR (550 kHz) is a non-commercial radio station licensed to Fleming Island, Florida, and serving the Jacksonville metropolitan area. It broadcasts a Christian Talk and Teaching radio format, and is owned by Good Tidings Trust, Inc.[3] WAYR calls itself "Way Radio" but it is not associated with another Christian radio organization, the Colorado Springs-based "WayFM Network." WAYR's studios and offices are on Russell Road in Green Cove Springs. The station asks for donations on the air and on its website.
Programming is also heard on 250-watt FM translator stations, W277DE at 103.3 and W285FE at 104.9 MHz.[4] In 2021, Good Tidings Trust purchased WAOC at 1420 AM and 96.5 FM in St. Augustine and simulcasts its programming. In addition, since 1997, Good Tidings Trust has operated another FM station, 90.7 WAYR-FM, licensed to Brunswick, Georgia, which is separately programmed with Christian contemporary music.
