WJAG (780 AM, "Newstalk 780") is a commercial radio station broadcasting a talk radio format. It is licensed to Norfolk, Nebraska, and covers parts of Nebraska, Iowa and South Dakota. It was founded in 1922 by the Huse Publishing Company, publisher of the Norfolk Daily News, and since 1956 to a subsidiary, WJAG, Inc.[2] The studios are at 525 Norfolk Avenue in the newspaper headquarters.
WJAG is a daytimer station, powered at 1,000 watts. AM 780 is a clear channel frequency reserved for Class A WBBM Chicago. So to avoid interference, WJAG's AM transmitter must go off the air at night.[3] Programming is heard around the clock on 250-watt FM translator K290AT at 105.9 MHz.[4]
