WJIB 720 AM (and 101.3 FM) is Boston’s treasured source for timeless music and warm nostalgia. Known as “The Memories Channel,” ‘JIB plays the biggest variety of great music, spanning mostly soft oldies, beautiful instrumentals, easy listening standards, and forgotten favorites from the 1940s through the 1980s. It’s a unique oasis on the radio dial, offering a soothing blend of music rarely heard anywhere else.
What truly sets WJIB apart is that it is completely commercial-free – a rarity in modern radio. Founded as a labor of love by the late veteran broadcaster Bob Bittner, the station relies solely on listener donations to stay on the air. That independence allows WJIB to focus entirely on music and memories, free from limited corporate playlists or ad interruptions.
‘JIB airs live telephone requests from our community of listeners recalling their special songs, while sharing endearing stories. What is your special”memory song?” The WJIB request line is open right now:
