WJNJ (1320 AM) is a broadcast radio station in the United States. Licensed to Jacksonville, Florida and owned by Norsan Media, WJNJ has an oldies format in Spanish, specializing in romántica.
The station first signed on in 1940 as WJHP and had a variety of call signs and formats in its history. Its heyday was as country music station WVOJ from 1968 to 1984; WVOJ had strong local ratings in the 1970s. In 1984, Jacor purchased WVOJ and changed its call sign to WQIK.
Over 50 years as a music station ended in 1994, with changes of the call sign to WJGR and format to news/talk/sports. Among WJGR's local programming were a talk show hosted by former State Representative Andy Johnson and Florida State University and University of North Florida basketball games. Throughout the 2000s, WJGR emphasized conservative talk shows, with ownership changes to Salem Media Group in 2004 and Chesapeake-Portsmouth Broadcasting in 2006 and then a new call sign WBOB in 2007.
In 2010, WBOB was purchased by a Jacksonville church, which changed its call sign to the present WJNJ and format to Christian talk and teaching. WJNJ was sold to Norsan Media in 2023, followed by a format change to Spanish oldies in 2024.
