WJXL (1010 kHz) is a commercial AM radio station licensed to Jacksonville Beach, Florida, and serving the Jacksonville metropolitan area. WJXL is owned by Seven Bridges Radio, LLC.[5]

The station airs a sports radio format, and is simulcast on co-owned 92.5 WJXL-FM. Most weekday shows have local hosts, with the VSiN Radio Network heard late nights and weekends. They serve as the flagship stations of the Jacksonville Jaguars Radio Network.[6][7]

WJXL broadcasts by day at 50,000 watts, the maximum power for commercial AM stations. But because AM 1010 is a clear channel frequency, WJXL reduces power at night to 30,000 watts and uses a directional antenna at all times to protect other stations on 1010 kHz. The transmitter is located on U.S. Route 90 in Jacksonville, west of Baldwin, Florida.[5] The studios and offices are on Hogan Road, also in Jacksonville.[8]
