WXTJ-LPis aFreeformformattedbroadcastradio stationlicensed to and servingCharlottesville, Virginia,[1]owned and operated by theUniversity of Virginia.[5]
WXTJ-LP was founded by the staff ofWTJU(91.1 FM) in 2013 as a response to low and declining student involvement at the University of Virginia's long-establishedcollege radiostation. WXTJ is now entirely administered and programmed by students, with WTJU's staff providing only studio space and technical support.[6]
The station first went live on the Internet in the fall of 2013 under the fictitious callsign WTJX. A plannedPart 15AM transmitter on 1620 kHz while the station raised money for an FM signal was publicized, but never materialized. WXTJ gained its current callsign as a side effect of applying for anLPFMlicense in 2015. Although the suffixed callsign WTJX-LP is not in use, FCC rules require approval if any station is already using the base callsign – in this case,WTJX-TVofCharlotte Amalie, U.S. Virgin Islands,who expressed their opposition.[6][7]
