WATJ was a commercial daytime-only radio station licensed to Chardon, Ohio, at 1560 AM, and served parts of Greater Cleveland.
The station broadcast from 1962 to 2004, ceasing operations when the owners voluntarily turned their license back to the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) for cancellation.
Al Kipp, who was the general manager of WELW in Willoughby at the time, was hired by a new group to put the station back on the air.
This group owned the station, with Al Kipp as GM, until it was sold to Dale Broadcasting, headed by Painesville businessman Donald L. Smith, for $264,000 in January 1980.
Music Express Broadcasting shut down WATJ's operations, and turned the license back in to the FCC, on October 1, 2004.
