WTJZ (1110 kHz) is a commercial AM radio station licensed to Norfolk, Virginia, United States, and serving Hampton Roads. The station is owned and operated by Delmarva Educational Association. Branded as "Praise 104.9", it airs an urban gospel radio format.
WTJZ is a daytimer station, which operates with a power at 50,000 watts, the maximum allowed for U.S. AM stations. 1110 AM is a clear channel frequency, with protected nighttime coverage for Class A stations WBT Charlotte and KFAB Omaha, so WTJZ must go off the air at night. Programming is carried around the clock on two FM translators: W285FM in Hampton on 104.9 MHz, and W223CT in Norfolk on 92.5 MHz.
