  ## History
  
  WATY signed on the air in 2000. It was owned by Okefenokee Educational Foundation, Inc. WATY aired informational and educational programming, along with adult standards music.
  
  In the mid-2010s, WATY was sold to The Foundation For Public Broadcasting In Georgia. It began carrying the news and information programming of Georgia Public Radio as a network affiliate of NPR, with some classical music heard late nights and weekends.
  
  Effective August 31, 2015, WATY was sold to Delmarva Educational Association, at a purchase price of $45,000. Delmarva made it one station in a trimulcast, helping cover the northern suburbs of the Jacksonville metropolitan area, airing Christian talk and teaching programs.
