WTJU Off-Air During New Transmitter Installation
By WTJU
Date: 11/15/2026
Time: 3:00 pm - 6:00 pm
WTJU will be off air (streaming available), Sunday, Nov 15, 3 – 6 p.m. as a brand new transmitter is installed!
Thanks to a grant from UVA’s Electronic Trust Fund (ETF), a state-funded program, WTJU has purchased a new transmitter, as the old one is showing its age. The station will be off air during the installation, but you can still hear Sunday Opera Matinee via the online streams at wtju.net and charlottesvilleclassical.org.
The new transmitter has perks:
- RDS display of artist & track information on car radios
- Built-in silence detectors to automatically detect input loss and switch to backup audio sources
- Browser-based remote control access & monitoring from our Ivy Rd studios
- Built-in 5-band sound processor, which can be configured to different settings at different dayparts
- A coaxial switch to roll over to a backup FM transmitter in case of emergency
We’re excited to strengthen our systems for your listening pleasure! Thank you for your patience.
