WHJJ

It carries a talk radio format and is owned by iHeartMedia, Inc. Its studios and offices are on Oxford Street in Providence.

WHJJ transmits 5,000 watts around the clock, from its transmitter site off Wampanoag Trail (Rhode Island Route 114) in East Providence.

[2] A single non-directional tower is used during the day, providing at least secondary coverage to all of Rhode Island and the Massachusetts South Coast.

WJAR was the second Providence broadcasting station, and the second operated by a department store, following the June 5, 1922, licensing of WEAN to the Shepard Company.

[12] On November 11, 1928, as a result of a major national reallocation implemented under the Federal Radio Commission's General Order 40, the station moved to 890 kHz.

The company now sought permission to purchase a local FM station, WRLM, which required receiving a waiver from the Federal Communications Commission (FCC), because new co-owned radio-TV holdings were normally prohibited.

In December 2006, WHJJ owner Clear Channel Communications (now known as iHeartMedia) fired afternoon drive time veteran Arlene Violet, after 16 years, as part of a company-wide cost-cutting measure.

In 2013, WHJJ was rebranded as "NewsRadio 920", replacing conservative morning talk host Helen Glover with Rhode Island Radio Hall Of Famer Ron St. Pierre, to present a more news-centric program.
