WJIS (88.1 FM), known on air as The JOY FM, is a Christian adult contemporary station serving North, Central and Southwest Florida, including the Sarasota metropolitan area and Tampa Bay areas, and is owned by the Radio Training Network. The JOY FM is not only local to Bradenton, but it has many stations and translators across Florida, Georgia, and Alabama.[1]
Network
On April 19, 2021, RTN launched The JOY FM on WNUE-FM 98.1, which the organization concurrently filed to buy from Entravision Communications for $4 million.[2]
During most of 2013, WJIS was also simulcasted on 91.7 WFTI-FM in St. Petersburg; that station would cease operations in fall 2013, to allow for upgrades of adjacent channel WCIE and co-channel WJFH.[3]
The Radio Training Network also has The JOY FM-branded stations in Dothan, Alabama (WIZB); Montgomery, Alabama (WPHH); Athens, Georgia (WMSL); and Atlanta / Macon, Georgia (WVFJ-FM and WWWD), though these stations do not repeat WJIS 24/7.
HD radio
WCIE and WJIS broadcasts in the HD Radio format. On HD2, the station has "Joy Worship", a channel that features exclusively Christian worship songs. On HD3, the station has LF Radio, a progressive youth music channel. Both can be listened to online or via The JOY FM phone app.
Translators
In addition to the full-powered stations, The JOY FM is relayed by additional translators:
Two of its translators are leased out to Clear Channel Communications (now iHeartMedia) to rebroadcast their stations:
- W290BJ 105.9 MHz West Tampa,[4] rebroadcasting WMTX's HD2 signal; originally leased out to rebroadcast WFLA (AM)[5]
- W237CW 95.3 MHz Pinellas Park, Florida, rebroadcasting WDAE
