Financial Problems
WNJR continued with an Urban Contemporary format and became the flagship station of Unity Broadcasting's National Black Network (Now Sheridan Broadcasting's American Urban Radio Networks) in 1973. WNJR subsequently evolved into more of an Urban AC format by 1978. Also, the station played Gospel music and sermons on Sunday mornings and evenings. In 1982, Sound Radio received the WNJR license. The format stayed much the same. Initially the station was profitable but by 1988, it began to lose money as its core audience switched to New York City's two FM Urban powerhouses, WBLS and WRKS (98.7 Kiss FM). In 1989, Sound Radio filed Chapter 7 Bankruptcy.
