WHJJ is an AM Radio station in Providence, Rhode Island broadcasting at 920 AM. The station was previously assigned call letters WJAR. It was the Rhode Island affiliate of Air America Radio until 2005. In 2005 and 2006, WHJJ won Associated Press awards for the Massachusetts/Rhode Island area; the 2005 award was for special events coverage of the Democratic National Convention, while the 2006 honor was for news station of the year. In December 2006, WHJJ owner Clear Channel Broadcasting fired afternoon drive veteran Arlene Violet as part of a company wide cost cutting measure. Violet had a 16 year run on the station. Also thanks to Clear Channel downsizing, "local" newsbreaks during midday hours are fed from a hub in Syracuse, NY (WSYR-AM) providing local AP headlines. Image File history File links Whjj-am. ...
