1290 WJNO

📖 About

WJNO (1290 AM), commercially branded as Newsradio 1290 WJNO, is a leading news and talk radio station licensed to West Palm Beach, Florida, and serving Palm Beach County along with parts of the greater South Florida region. Owned and operated by iHeartMedia, the station delivers comprehensive local news coverage, weather updates, and reports, alongside an influential line-up of nationally syndicated conservative talk programming. Its robust daily schedule features high-profile programs such as The Glenn Beck Program, The Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show, The Sean Hannity Show, and the overnight staple Coast to Coast AM. The frequency has a rich history that dates back to its original debut on July 21, 1947, as WIRK. Over the decades, the dial position underwent several call-sign and ownership adjustments—including stints as WPCK, WPBG, and WBZT—before the legendary WJNO call letters and news/talk format moved to the 1290 AM frequency in January 2000. This frequency switch was strategically implemented to maximize signal reach and target audiences throughout Palm Beach County. Today, the station operates with a power output of 10,000 watts during the day and 4,900 watts at night from its transmitter located in Loxahatchee, Florida. As a cornerstone of South Florida broadcasting, WJNO caters primarily to news-conscious, politically engaged adults seeking up-to-the-minute current events and deep-dive commentary. In addition to its standard analog AM broadcast, the station is widely accessible across digital platforms via the iHeartRadio app, official website streaming, and HD radio translators, maintaining its status as an essential media voice in the Palm Beaches.
