16 July 2012

As a result of much-needed streamlining of the programming schedule at WTJU, after 33 years of broadcasting at 2PM, we're moving to Saturdays at noon.
It's a bittersweet thing: we've kicked off the weekend for so long, it's part of eveyone's DNA. But... we're team players, too.
Nothing with change: still the same mix of deep-cut ska, rocksteady, roots reggae and appropriate world rhythms... just a different day.
