WKTZ (1220 AM) is an American radio station licensed to serve Jacksonville, Florida, USA. Established in 1958, the station is currently owned and operated by the Educational Media Foundation.

The station was assigned the call sign "WJAX" by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) on May 26, 1987 and then assigned the callsign "WKTZ" on November 5, 2014.^[1]

Programming

Until November 2014, WJAX featured the syndicated America's Best Music format of adult standards and adult contemporary oldies music distributed by Westwood One, and streams online. Previously, the station aired Music of Your Life, which Jones Radio Networks distributed until January 19, 2008, and then aired Jones' Jones Standards format until it was discontinued in September 2008 and absorbed into America's Best Music following Triton Media Group's (owners of Westwood One's predecessor Dial Global) purchase of Jones.

History

The station began broadcasting from a transmitter located at the water plant across from Confederate Park near First and Main streets. The station was owned by the city government. WJAX was also an FM station on 95.1 and played album rock throughout the 1970s. The company that purchased WJAX-FM from the city in the early 1980s also owned WAPE 690 AM, which is now WOKV. When the deal was done, the WAPE call letters took over the spot at 95.1 and for a short while simulcast their top 40 format on both AM and FM spots. The call sign languished unused for years, but made a comeback on the AM dial as a station owned and operated by Jones College. The original WJAX at 930 A.M. is now WFXJ.
