WDJC-FM (FM 93.7) is a Christian format radio station owned by Crawford Broadcasting Company. The station was one of the first commercial FM station in the United States to feature Christian programming. The format and call letters debuted on April 22, 1968, replacing classical-format WSFM-FM. The call letters were publicized as standing for "Witness Daily for Jesus Christ", but may also reflect the initials of Donald J. Crawford, owner of Crawford Broadcasting.

The original WDJC format relied heavily on church services, Bible studies and other religious programming. Contemporary Christian music began appearing in certain time slots in the mid-1970s while traditional gospel shows aired in the evenings. Alabama State Senator Hank Erwin hosted a daily talk show on WDJC from 1996 to 1998.

In 1998 the station went to an all-music format to compete with WFMH-FM, a newly-launched 24-hour Christian music station.
