I’m going to miss streaming The Bargain Channel late at night out of boredom but I have to question how they didn’t stop being a 24/7 radio station sooner.
After watching videos on youtube of people actually going to their physical store its apparent it was just a cheap dollar store with junk pimped up by a radio station.
WJXR certainly was a unique radio station, pretty sure the only one doing 24/7 shopping programming in the U.S. right? 30 years is a good run.
