WWJK, better known as 94-7 Jack FM, is an adult hits radio station in Jackson, Mississippi.

In July, 2008, after six years (2002-2008) in the Jackson radio market--and frustrated with the inability to expand beyond WRXW and WWJK--Jacksonville-based Backyard Broadcasting sold WWJK to Meridian-based New South Radio.

History

WWJK was previously a classic hits station known as Arrow 94.7 with the call letters WTYX. On Friday, September 3, 2004 (at 3pm CDT), under the direction of program director Russ Schell, Arrow became the first U.S. Jack FM station east of the Mississippi River. Schell left WWJK in 2005. He was replaced by Don Wayne, who still serves as the current program director.

WWJK is among the most popular non-ethnic radio stations in Jackson.
