[edit] History

WJJS & WJJX began their history in 1992 when WJJX in Lynchburg evolved from a R&B/Hip-Hop direction as Power 101.7 to Rhythmic Top 40 as "Jammin' 101.7". It also expanded its reach into Roanoke when it acquired WWFO and made the station its simulcast in May of 1994.

By 1998 they shifted to Top 40 Mainstream and began a serious challenge to take on the area's longtime rival WXLK in a battle would last for nearly seven years, even though they maintained a Rhythmic lean during that tenure.

But by 2005 WJJS/WJJX would start shifting back towards a pure Rhythmic direction as they began phasing out non-Rhythmic product, resulting in a complete return to Rhythmic Top 40 in the Spring of 2006.
