WCJW
WCJW (1140 kHz) is a commercial AM radio station licensed to Warsaw, New York and serving Western New York. It is owned by WCJW LLC, and calls itself "CJ Country." The radio studios and transmitter are on Merchant Road in Warsaw.
WCJW broadcasts at 8,000 watts during daytime hours using a directional antenna with a two-tower array. During critical hours, the power is reduced to 2,300 watts.
It is required by the FCC to sign off at sunset, though effectively the AM station now merely serves as a de facto relay to a network of six co-owned FM translators to provide full-time service, which are all promoted over the AM signal, which is only mentioned during the hourly station identification.
The station's format is centered on country music, using the positioning statement "Today's Favorites and the Legends", playing classic country hits with more recent releases included in the playlist. WCJW also airs local news, weather, high school sports, and agriculture reports. Other popular features include WCJW's daily Tradio program and weekend coverage of NASCAR races. National news service is provided by Fox News Radio.
In contrast to many small-market radio stations, WCJW maintains a local programming staff. Weekend shows heard on WCJW include Retro Country USA and Rise Up Country.
WCJW is the only AM station in Wyoming County and the only broadcast station in the county with a local studio (WLKK is licensed to Wethersfield in Wyoming County, but has its main studios in the Buffalo suburb of Amherst).
In addition to the county seat of Warsaw, targeted communities include Perry, Silver Springs, Castile, Gainesville, Arcade, and Attica, along with the Livingston County villages of Geneseo, Mount Morris, Nunda, Avon and Caledonia, and the Genesee County municipalities of Batavia and Le Roy.
In June 2008, WCJW began simulcasting its programming on FM translator W279BO in Warsaw, a 250-watt facility collocated with the studio and AM transmitter. In November 2008, W288BZ began operating on 105.5 MHz from the Genesee County public safety tower in Batavia. In January 2009, W265BX began serving southern Wyoming County and Livingston County from the hilltop east of Nunda, and in November 2011, WCJW's fourth translator W282BQ commenced service to Le Roy, northern Livingston County, and southwestern Monroe County, including the Interstate 390 corridor from Mount Morris to Henrietta. In April 2015, W285EZ began operation at the WLKK tower site in Wethersfield, employing a directional pattern that serves Arcade, Yorkshire, Delevan and Bliss. All six translators transmit in stereo and employ the Radio Data System.
