The slogan for the station is “Catholic Radio – Where Faith Meets Life”. In 1976, WJMJ was founded by the late Archbishop John F.

WJMJ replaced most of their non-Catholic programming in June 2008. “Festival of Faith”, the 14-hour block of radio shows on Sunday which ranged from short inspirational spots to recorded worship services or talk shows produced by an assortment of area Protestant and Eastern Orthodox churches was replaced beginning Sunday, June 1, 2008 by local Catholic programming, as well as material from the EWTN network. WJMJ also carries live Metropolitan Opera broadcasts on Saturday afternoons. After many years of broadcasting in monaural, stereo broadcasts began in January 2009.
