Call Sign Controversy
WBHP's management team was not aware of heritage station WBHP (AM) in Huntsville, Alabama, when they submitted their request for said call letters to the FCC. WBHP received the go-ahead from the FCC on December 10, 2000, and began broadcasting fifteen days later. It was not until WBHP had ended broadcasting in Honea Path that it received notification from the FCC that its call letters were pending a change to WJIA for its new Anderson location. It was because of these errors with the FCC that WJIA management ultimately decided to end broadcasting altogether in 2002 to avoid lawsuits and any other legal troubles with any station that may have possibly had the same call letters.
