WVOJ (1570 AM) is a commercial radio station, licensed to Fernandina Beach, Florida, and serving the Jacksonville metropolitan area. The station is currently owned by Norsan Consulting And Management, Inc. [1] WVOJ airs a Regional Mexican radio format, largely simulcast with several other radio stations in the Southern U. S., including North Carolina and South Carolina.
Engineering data
WVOJ broadcasts with 10,000 watts by day, but because AM 1570 is a clear channel frequency, WVOJ must reduce its power at night to 30 watts to avoid interfering with other radio stations. 1570 AM is a Mexican clear-channel frequency, on which XERF-AM in Ciudad Acuña is the dominant Class A station.
F.M. translator
Programming is also heard over FM translator W222CL on 92.3 MHz.

Construction permit
Norsan Consulting has an application with the Federal Communications Commission to move the AM station's city of license to Orange Park, Florida, increase its daytime to 50,000 watts and its nighttime power to 10,000 watts, using a directional antenna. [2] The application is for a Class B license; it is currently Class D.
