History

In June 1988, WGGM, formerly a daytimer at AM 1410 on the dial, moved to the 820 frequency, allowing 24-hour broadcasting. Tracy Lynn, longtime local television traffic reporter at WWBT, was the first nighttime DJ on WGGM.

In May 2014, VARTV reported the station's plans to change call letters to WNTW and switch to syndicated conservative talk as "The Answer" at 8 a.m. on Monday, June 2. The call sign was officially changed to WNTW on June 1.[6]

Effective June 16, 2020, John Fredericks' Disruptor Radio acquired WNTW and W224EB for $240,000. The call letters were changed to WJFN on June 17, 2020, matching WJFN-FM 100.5, which this station began to simulcast.

Translator

In addition to the main station, WJFN is relayed by an FM translator.[7]
