New Federal Communications Commission regulations forced the station to upgrade to a signal strength of at least 100 watts in order to keep a non-commercial license. By the mid-1980s, the station's operations had deteriorated to the point where it no longer produced a transmission. In 1971, the college secured a license to broadcast as WJCR at 88.3 FM, upgraded to a 10-watt transmitter, and moved to the Old Gym. The next year, the station received $200 in funding from the Student Council and upgraded its transmitter, but the signal could only be heard in Hays Hall, Mellon Hall, Upperclassmen Dorm, and many fraternity houses. Washington & Jefferson's first student radio station, WAJC-AM, began broadcasting October 8, 1961, from the second floor of the music building. The station is owned by Washington & Jefferson College. Licensed to Washington, Pennsylvania, it serves Greater Pittsburgh's Southwest suburbs. WNJR (91.7 MHz) is a non-commercial FM radio station broadcasting a freeform radio format.
