WJFP (740 AM) is a commercial radio station broadcasting a conservative talk format. It is licensed to Chester, Pennsylvania, and serves the Philadelphia metropolitan area. The station is owned by John Fredericks, with the license held by Disruptor Radio, LLC. Fredericks hosts a syndicated weekday morning talk show and also owns three stations in Virginia.[2] Other syndicated shows on WJFP include "The War Room with Steve Bannon," "The Ramsey Show with Dave Ramsey" and "Red Eye Radio."
By day, WJFP transmits with 1,000 watts. 740 AM is a clear channel frequency reserved for Class A CFZM Toronto, so to avoid interference at night, WJFP reduces power to 6 watts. It uses a non-directional antenna at all times. The transmitter is off Dutton Mill Road in Brookhaven, Pennsylvania.[3] Programming is also heard on FM translator 103.3 W277DL in Chester.
