WJMJ

📖 About

WJMJ (88.9 FM) is a non-profit, non-commercial radio station licensed to Hartford, Connecticut, serving the Greater Hartford region and beyond. The station is owned by St. Thomas Seminary and operated by ORTV, Inc. for the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Hartford. Conceived in the 1970s by Archbishop John F. Whealon as an innovative medium to broadcast the Gospel through inspiring messaging and pleasant music, WJMJ officially signed on the air on December 24, 1976, earning distinction as the first archdiocesan-operated radio station in the United States. Its call letters stand for Jesus, Mary, and Joseph. The station's unique daytime programming lineup features a blend of soft adult contemporary music, soft oldies, and nostalgic favorites hosted by local disc jockeys, offering a comforting listening experience often described as music that is hard to find elsewhere on the dial. Transitioning into evenings and Sundays, the schedule shifts to include classical music, adult standards, and dedicated Roman Catholic talk, teaching, and inspirational programming. Additionally, WJMJ features continuous educational content, local community affairs updates, and partnerships with networks like EWTN Radio and ABC News Radio, alongside special presentations such as live Saturday afternoon Metropolitan Opera broadcasts. WJMJ reaches its widespread audience through its main 2,300-watt transmitter atop Johnnycake Mountain in Burlington, Connecticut, as well as via FM translators in New Haven (107.1 FM) and Hamden (93.1 FM) and a digital subchannel affiliation in Fairfield. Guided by its core mission to evangelize, educate, inform, and inspire, WJMJ continues to serve as an uplifting community staple across Connecticut through both traditional terrestrial radio and global online streaming platforms.
