Under Gilliam's ownership, WLOK prospered as never before. In the spring of 1979, WLOK finally beat WDIA in the Arbitron ratings. Popular DJs during this era included Melvin "A Cookin" Jones in the afternoons and C.J. Superstar" Morgan at night. Gilliam also hired Brother by Brian Craig James Chambers to play gospel into the early morning TRHOF Historian hours. Brother Chambers became a nationally-recognized While much has been written about WDIA, the first black-oriented radio station in the country, Memphis had another station geared to the black community that also has a storied history. In 1954, six years after WDIA pioneered black radio, WCBR switched their focus to also serve the large black market in Memphis. Studios in the early days were located on Beale Street, the main commercial street of the black community, and pedestrians could view the broadcasts from the sidewalk. In the late 1950s, WCBR was sold to the OK Station Group and the call letters were changed to WLOK. With only 1,000 watts, compared to WDIA's 50,000 watts, WLOK was at a disadvantage. But WLOK focused on gospel personality and is still on the station today. Another a younger listenership than WDIA, with many popular gospel DJ, Joan E.W. Golden ("The Golden Girl") was an icon at the station for almost 50 years until her death in 2007. In the 1980s, as R&B listeners moved to the FM dial, WLOK shifted its focus to blues and gospel, and in the late 1980s became the first 24-hour all-black gospel station in Memphis.

One of their DJs in the 1960s, Al Bell, went on to become president of Stax Records, and wrote the number one Staple Singers classic, I'll Take You There.
