WJCC (1700 kHz) is a commercial AM radio station licensed to Miami Springs, Florida, and serving the Miami metropolitan area. It is owned by Multicultural Broadcasting with studios on NW 58rd Street at NW 72nd Avenue in Miami. It broadcasts mostly Haitian Creole talk, music and news with some other ethnic programming. The station has a brokered programming format, where hosts pay for their time on the air and may advertise their services and products. Most of the schedule is used by Radio Mega, which broadcasts in the U.S. and Haiti.

WJCC is a Class B station. By day, it is powered at 10,000 watts. But to reduce interference to other stations on 1700 AM, at night it drops its power to 1,000 watts. It uses a non-directional antenna. The transmitter is on NW 102nd Avenue near NW 138th Street in Hialeah.^[3] As part of the Expanded Band, there are only a handful of other radio stations in the U.S. and one in Mexico on 1700 AM.
