On May 20, 1984 at noon; WBGJ-FM was relaunched as "BGJ-97", with a livelier Top 40 format than the previous incarnation, with the first song on the new "Hot Rockin' Flame Throwin' BGJ-97" being "Owner of a Lonely Heart" by, kicking off 10,097 songs in a row played commercial-free.

The catchy legal ID "BGJ-97, Perry, Macon and Warner Robins Alive!" first caught the attention of listeners that same year when there was no other CHR station in Macon at the time. It was coined by afternoon drive host/program director "Buddy" Rich Pancher as an attempt to position "BGJ-97" as a station for the entire Macon-Warner Robins area, and not just for Perry.
