John Fredericks’ Disruptor Radio has closed on its $500,000 purchase of Christian 740 WVCH/103.3 W277CL Chester PA from the Estate of Alice Moffit’s WVCH Communications Inc. and has launched Conservative Talk “Liberty Radio“. The station will also be heard on Broadcast Learning Center’s 95.3 W237EH Pennsauken NJ.
Now sporting WJFP call letters, the station becomes the third market for his ultra-rightwing brand along with Richmond VA market 820 WJFN Chester/100.5 WJFN-FM Goochland and LMA’d “Freedom 1690” WMLB Avondale Estates/Atlanta GA. The flip gives an additional Conservative Talk outlet in Philadelphia to go up against Audacy’s 1210 WPHT and Salem’s “990 The Answer” WNTP. WVCH and its translator better serve the southern and western portions of the market.
WJFP’s lineup will feature Fredericks in mornings from 6-10am and his “Outside The Beltway” in afternoons from 4-5pm. Steve Bannon’s “War Room” will air from 10am-12pm and 5-6pm. Newsmax’s Rob Carson Show will be heard from 12-3pm followed by Doug Collins from 3-4pm. Todd Starnes will air in evenings from 6-9pm followed by Westwood One’s Dan Bongino from 9pm-12am. Dave Ramsey’s show will fill the 12am hour followed by Red Eye Radio overnights.
The John Fredericks Media Network has acquired WVCH AM 740 and 103.3 FM in Chester and Malvern, PA, and will operate 95.3 FM in Pennsauken, N.J to become WJFP-AM 740, 103.3 FM, and 95.3 FM.
The new radio signal additions to the John Fredericks Media Network will give the company enormous reach into Philadelphia, all surrounding suburbs, half of Delaware — south to Dover and all of Wilmington and most of South Jersey.
Fredericks also owns or operates four radio stations in Central Virginia – WJFN-AM 820 and WJFN-FM 100.5 FM, 92.7 FM, and 107.7 FM, as well as WMLB AM 1690 in Atlanta.
The John Fredericks Radio Show is heard on all of his stations weekdays from 6:00 AM – 10:00 AM, and his TV show, Outside the Beltway with John Fredericks broadcasts on Real America’s Voice News weekdays from 4:00 PM – 5:00 PM.
“The acquisition of iconic radio station WVCH in greater Philadelphia and its accompanying FM translator is an essential component of our growth strategy. We want to provide our growing audience with hard-hitting news and incisive analysis to cut through the cancel culture and the woke fake news networks that dominate the airwaves today,“Fredericks said. “Our proprietary network of show hosts is leading the radio industry, and our vision of all live weekday coverage and weekend live sports has resonated with both our listeners and advertisers,“ Fredericks added.
The John Fredericks Media Network also has full or partial ownership in three digital newspapers in the Star News Network, The Virginia Star, Georgia Star News and Pennsylvania Daily Star, operated by CEO Mike Leahy.
“Our strategic partnership with Star News Network is a cornerstone of our future expansion and we mandate that our newspapers operate independently from our radio and television network. We believe our burgeoning audience today is yearning for facts, independent thought, and intelligent commentary, not parroting the same lines over and over as the fake news conglomerate does,” Fredericks maintained.
