WCJW (1140 kHz) is a commercial AM radio station licensed to Warsaw, New York and serving Western New York. It is owned by Lloyd Lane, Inc, and calls itself "CJ Country." The radio studios and transmitter are on Merchant Road in Warsaw.
WCJW broadcasts at 8,000 watts during daytime hours using a directional antenna with a two-tower array. During critical hours, the power is reduced to 2,300 watts.
It is required by the FCC to sign off at sunset, though effectively the AM station now merely serves as a de facto relay to a network of six co-owned FM translators to provide full-time service, which are all promoted over the AM signal, which is only mentioned during the hourly station identification.
