WJBX (770 kHz) is a commercial AM radio station broadcasting a talk radio format. Licensed to North Fort Myers, Florida, USA, the station serves the Fort Myers media market. The station is owned by Beasley Broadcast Group, Inc., through licensee Beasley Media Group, LLC. The station primarily carries nationally syndicated talk shows, including This Morning, America's First News with Gordon Deal, Brian Kilmeade, John Gibson, Dave Ramsey, Tom Sullivan and Alan Colmes. CBS Radio News is heard at the start of each hour.
WJBX broadcasts with 10,000 watts by day. But because 770 AM is a clear channel frequency reserved for Class A WABC in New York City, WJBX must reduce power at night to 660 watts to avoid interference. The transmitter is off Huffmaster Road in North Fort Myers and the studios and offices are on South Tamiami Trail in Estero, Florida. In addition to its AM signal, WJBX uses two FM translators to air its programming: 104.3 W282BY in Fort Myers and 101.5 W268AH in Bonita Springs.
