WWJ, 950 AM, is an all-news radio station located in Detroit, Michigan, United States. The station is owned by the CBS Radio subsidiary of CBS Corporation. The station maintains studios located at the Panasonic Building in Southfield, and its transmitter is located near Newport.
Although WWJ is the only commercial all-news radio station in Michigan, ironically, co-owned television station WWJ-TV is the only CBS owned-and-operated station without any local news presence.
WWJ has the highest field strength in a single direction of any AM station in the United States. With this powerful signal pointed due north, it can be heard in every part of the state of Michigan during the nighttime hours, and much of southern Lower Michigan during the day. WWJ's signal can even be heard in the Upper Peninsula and Mackinac area at night, while often unlistenable just 40 minutes west of Detroit in the Ann Arbor area due to interference from co-channel WNTD in Chicago. WWJ's nighttime signal to the east is also impeded by WKDN in Philadelphia. WWJ uses a five-tower directional antenna during daytime hours, and a six-tower directional antenna during nighttime hours.
