WJJK (104.5FM) is acommercial radio stationlicensed toNoblesville, Indiana, and broadcasting to theIndianapolis metropolitan area. It is owned byCumulus Media and broadcasts aclassic hitsradio format. Its studios and offices are on North Shadeland Avenue on the east side ofIndianapolis.
WJJK has aneffective radiated power (ERP) of 50,000 watts, the maximum for most stations in Indiana. Itstransmitter is located on Bulldog Road, near the athletic fields forButler University, which once owned the station.[2] WJJK is licensed to broadcast in theHD Radio (hybrid) format.[3]
On September 25, 1950, the stationsigned on the air as WAJC, with thecall letters standing for Arthur Jordan College of Music. It was originally a non-commercial,college radio station at 91.3 MHz. It moved to its current frequency of 104.5 MHz in 1956, as theButler University radio station.[4] The move came with an increase in power to 8,800 watts, but still just a fraction of its current output.
In 1993, Butler University decided to discontinue its radio station. The 104.5 frequency was sold to theSusquehanna Radio Corporation, which converted it to a commercial radio station. Susquehanna changed the call sign to WGRL and it adopted acountry music format.
The call letters were changed to WGLD in 1997 when the station flipped to anoldies format as "Gold 104.5." On March 13, 2005, 6pm local time WGLD became WJJK, dropping oldies and subscribing to thenationally syndicated "JACK FM"adult hits format. The station became known as "104.5 Jack FM."
In 2006, Susquehanna Radio was acquired by current owner Cumulus Media. Also in 2006, in September, WJJK became aclassic hits station, while keeping the same call letters, marking a return to a format similar to that of the former Gold 104.5 oldies format. The name "Jack" was dropped in December 2007 and it is now known as "Classic Hits 104.5 WJJK."
