History
Hyles-Anderson College first applied for a construction permit to build a station at 90.5 FM in 1989.[10] However, Moody Bible Institute filed a competing application for the frequency and was granted a construction permit to build a station, which was to simulcast WMBI-FM.[11] Moody's station was never built, and Hyles-Anderson was granted a construction permit in 2007.[12][13] The station began broadcasting in May 2010.[3][14]
Simulcast
In 2010, Hyles-Anderson College purchased the construction permit for a new radio station at 90.5 FM in Paxton, Illinois from the California Association for Research and Education, Inc. for $15,000.[15] On May 14, 2012, WRTW began to be simulcast on 90.5 WRTK in Paxton, covering East-Central Illinois.[16]
