WJMF (FM)

WJMF (88.7 MHz) is an FM radio station in Smithfield, Rhode Island, owned by Bryant University.

On April 27, 2012, WJMF was granted a U.S. Federal Communications Commission (FCC) construction permit to increase its effective radiated power (ERP) up to 1,500 Watts.

Its constitution was drafted in 1972 and in November 1973, the radio station began broadcasting from the Bryant College Unistructure.

On Thursday, May 14, 1981, the station began operating out of the Bryant College Multipurpose Activity Center (MAC).

In early 1989, General Manager Don Desfosse announced that the station had simultaneously added its 2000th vinyl record album, and its first compact disc (CD) player.

In the 1990s, with student enrollment down at colleges and universities worldwide, Bryant closed three of its residence halls.

During the summer of 2004, WJMF moved its studios from Hall 6 to its current location in the Koffler Technology Center.

The 40th Birthday Party was held on April 21, 2012, where alumni and family members were able to tour the station's facilities in the Koffler Center and Communications Complex, witness the unveiling of the On-Air Studio blue wall (which was dedicated to alumnus Stephen Boulter) and the WJMF History Wall, go online, and have a barbecue.

With the addition of two new sound boards from Harris Communications, Mic Processing, Delay System, Remote Broadcast Capabilities, Online streaming, an ENCO Automation System, Outdoor Speakers and a fully redecorated office, production studio and on-air studio.

In 2010, the radio station experienced more upgrades thanks to Bryant University's Special Initiatives Funding Program.

During Spring Weekend at Bryant, WJMF works closely with the Student Programming Board to create a day of events based on music and entertainments.
