WLJS-FM (91.9 FM) is the student-run non-commercial radio station of Jacksonville State University. The station was established for the purpose of giving students an environment in which they could learn to be radio broadcasters.
WLJS-FM was first chartered on September 29, 1975, and currently operates under the branding "92-J". Broadcasting at 6,000 watts, the station is a National Public Radio member station which provides the university and surrounding communities with news and music programming, and is the flagship station for all JSU major sporting events. In that capacity, the station broadcasts JSU football, baseball, softball, men's and women's basketball.
During the morning and mid-day weekdays, the station is mostly dedicated to programming from NPR and American Public Media, including Morning Edition, Day to Day, All Things Considered, Marketplace Morning Report and Performance Today. Weekend public radio offerings include Car Talk, Sunday Baroque and Weekend Edition Sunday.
Formatting changes to college/alternative rock for the flagship music program 92J Rocks and into the night. Regular, or "playlist" DJs are typically new to the air and have little choice in what music they play, usually playing a rotation format. Night shifts are generally given to "specialty" DJs who have more liberty in making their music selections. Often, the nighttime shows will carry a specific theme or genre of music played.
A live web stream is provided and can be heard through the station's website.
WLJS is maintained by the JSU Department of Communication, which is also the parent organization of the campus newspaper, The Chanticleer, and the Mimosa yearbook.
WLJS is located in Self Hall, home to JSU's Department of Communication.
