History
[edit]WJEJ was Hagerstown's first radio station, with its license first granted on March 30, 1932, to operate at the frequency of 1210 kHz at a power output of 100 watts, daytime only. Studios and transmitter were located at the Alexander Hotel in Hagerstown.
The following month, the license was assigned from A.V. Tidmore to Hagerstown Broadcasting Company. In July 1934, Hagerstown Broadcasting Company received permission to move the transmitter facility from the Alexander Hotel to the Lovely Dame Building at 16 West Washington Street in Hagerstown. By the end of 1938, WJEJ was given 24-hour broadcasting rights, and by 1940, received authorization to increase its power from 100 to 250 watts. In 1941, under theNARBAfrequency reallocation plan, WJEJ moved to its current frequency of 1240 kHz, but retained its operating power of 250 watts.
In 1946, WJEJ was joined by an FM sister station, WJEJ-FM, known today asWAYZ.
In 1961, WJEJ increased its power to its current maximum level of 1,000 watts, unlimited time.
