In early 1980, Swaggart denounced Contemporary Christian Music through his publication The Evangelist, and WAME began gradually moving toward a mixture of conservative Christian music and teaching programs.

During 1991, on Saturday and Sunday evenings, WCNT aired When Radio Was, hosted by Art Fleming, with radio serials such as The Shadow and Fibber McGee and Molly.
