Unfortunately, both HD2 and HD3 will be television-on-radio -- simulcasts of audio from EWTN. Here's the release, including news of a new transmitter location:
HARTFORD, Conn. – (October 5, 2018) One of Connecticut’s most popular music stations just dramatically improved the quality of its on-air signal with an upgrade to an HD Radio digital transmitter and a new location for its broadcast antenna. WJMJ features a mix of songs that the station says is, “Music that you can’t hear anywhere else,” along with inspirational messages, local news, weather and sports – including play-by-play coverage of Catholic High School Football games.
Now transmitting from a new antenna tower location in Farmington, CT, the station’s FM stereo signal is better able to penetrate Hartford, its home market. It also fills-in some pockets of unsatisfactory reception caused by terrain that blocked the station’s signal when it was transmitted from the former site in Burlington, CT.
In addition to the location change, an upgrade to a new transmitter broadcasts both the traditional FM signal as well as three digital HD Radio channels. Listeners with HD Radio receivers in their cars, homes or businesses will hear a superior quality sound on HD-1, the channel simultaneously carrying WJMJ’s music and information mix. On the other HD channels, listeners can hear Catholic programming from WJMJ’s affiliate, EWTN, the Eternal Word Television Network. The EWTN programs are in English on WJMJ HD-3 and in Spanish on WJMJ HD-2. This better serves an audience that wants to hear traditional Catholic religious programming and Connecticut’s growing Hispanic population.
