WJIM (AM)
WJIM (1240 AM) is a commercial radio station licensed to Lansing, Michigan. The station broadcasts a sports format and is owned by Townsquare Media. Studios and offices are on Pinetree Road in Lansing.
Programming includes syndicated sports talk programs originating from WXYT in Detroit branded as The Ticket as well as ESPN Radio programming nights and weekends.
WJIM is a Class C station, powered at 890 watts non-directional. Programming is simulcast on FM translator W295BP at 106.9 MHz.
WJIM began airing a sports-talk format December 1, 2025 as an inaugural affiliate of the Detroit Sports Network. The network is a partnership between Audacy's 97.1 WXYT-FM in Detroit and several Townsquare Media stations in Michigan including WJIM, WFGR in Grand Rapids, WKMI in Kalamazoo, and WBCK in Battle Creek.
Some of the programming that used to be heard on WJIM prior to The Ticket format has since been moved to sister station WVFN including the conservative talk program "The Steve Gruber Show," and "Michigan's Big Show starring Michael Patrick Shiels".
WJIM is the Lansing outlet for Michigan State University's Spartan Sports Network, airing all MSU football and basketball games, as well as volleyball and hockey. It is not, however, the flagship station. That role belongs to WJR in Detroit.
WJIM signed on the air on August 22, 1934. It broadcast on 1210 kHz with 250 watts daytime and 100 watts at night. WJIM was owned by Harold Gross and his company, Capital Broadcasting. It is the oldest commercial station in Lansing. The capital's first radio station, WHW, folded in 1923.
According to local legend, Gross won the license, the oldest continually operated commercial license in Lansing, in a card game. He named the station after his son Jim, who would become the station's general manager from the 1960s through the sale of the station.
