WJIB

WJIB (740 AM) is a radio station based in Cambridge, Massachusetts, and serving the Boston designated market area (DMA). The playlist draws from 5,400 records, concentrating on adult standards from the 1930s through the 1960s, and softer pop music from the 1950s and 1960s. It is owned by Bob Bittner Broadcasting, along with sister station WJTO in Bath, Maine. WJIB runs no commercial advertisements, instead relying on listener donations, in the same vein as a non-commercial station.

For the former WJIB-FM, see WBQT (FM).
