History
At one time this station was called WDAR. In the 60s and 70s it was known as "Top Gun Country WDAR". Other formats have included beautiful music,[3] classic rock (simulcast with WDAR-FM)[4] and adult standards.[5]
Prior to the switch to WWRK, this station was WPFM and was located at 1350 AM. In 1997, when it was owned by Root Communications, Ltd., WPFM applied to change its frequency to 1400 AM.[6]
Qantum Communications Inc. purchased Florence's Root Communications Group LP stations in 2003. At that time, WPFM had moved from 1350 to 1400.[7]
WWRK played gospel music as "The Light"[8] and was simulcast on WDSC.[9]
In September 2012, WWRK began simulcasting urban contemporary WRZE "Swagga 94.1".[10] The station changed its call sign to the current WJMX on October 30, 2013, swapping calls with its sister station at 970 AM.[11][12]
On May 15, 2014, Qantum Communications announced that it would sell its 29 stations, including WJMX, to Clear Channel Communications (now iHeartMedia), in a transaction connected to Clear Channel's sale of WALK AM-FM in Patchogue, New York to Connoisseur Media via Qantum.[13] The transaction was consummated on September 9, 2014.
Translators
In addition to the main station, WJMX is relayed by two translators to widen its broadcast area.[14][15]
