History
In February 2007, broadcaster George S. Flinn, Jr., applied to the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) for a construction permit for a new FM radio station on the Nature Coast. The FCC granted this permit on June 29, 2007, with a scheduled expiration date of June 29, 2010. The new station was assigned the call letters WICE on September 3, 2007, then switched to WWHF on November 21, 2007. After construction and testing were completed in June 2010, the station got the call sign WXJB on June 29, 2010. The station was granted its broadcast license on July 21, 2010.
In 2015, the station received approval from the FCC to increase its effective radiated power to 25,000 watts. That power boost has not been put in place.
Programming
Weekdays on WXJB include the Nature Coast Morning News, a local information and interview show. The rest of the schedule includes nationally syndicated conservative talk programs.
