Weas am of the 1980's

Any first hand accounts of Savannah's WEAS AM Gospel 90 of the early 1980's? Even earlier? I understand the station originated in 1950.
 
WEAS was originally in Decatur at what now is WGUN, 50,000watts daytime at 1010KC. It was a Rivers station playing Country, Gospel and even what was then called "race music" along with religious programs.
I don't remember exactly when it changed to WGUN, but Rivers kept the calls and later moved them to Savannah. Don't know much about what they programmed there.
 
When I was a kid, someone told me that Rivers programmed all of their stations with one of the "Three R's: Race, Religion and Rural."

Don't really go for religious or gospel programming, but I used to listen to WEAS all of the time when it was a country station back during the 1970's. One summer, they ran a program called "The Zero Hour," which was old-school radio drama done in the fashion of radio's hayday. I still remember those shows.
