BroadcastIn 1923, we started as a heritage radio station. It stayed that way for more than nine decades until we moved to the campus of Purdue Northwest. Students and grads made us realize that the Region needs a TV station. Here's what we came up with:
We have built on the 99-year-old spirit of WJOB, which is good and pure and beautiful, to build a TV station that broadcasts local, Region stuff all day long in video. |
BrandYour TV spot plays on streaming video, radio and sometimes social media. All day long it's local news, sports, traffic (ugh), entertainment, etc.
It's all new technology, and we make it pretty easy to buy advertising on it. You can buy streaming video and radio advertising right here on this website - at low prices. Browse the products. If you like something, click, sign up, and pay. If you have questions or want a larger, custom package, call JED at 219-844-1230. He loves to talk about the ROI of advertising on local broadcasting.
