WJJZ was a radio station broadcasting on 1460 AM in Mount Holly, New Jersey, United States, from 1963 to 1965 and again from 1967 to 1983. It was operated on two separate licenses by two separate groups, each of which ended with authority to continue operations being denied by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC). History First license By 1960, three applicants sought the use of 1460 kHz in Burlington County: the Burlington Broadcasting Company, owned by William Halpern and Louis Seltzer and proposing operation of the station in Burlington, and the Burlington County Broadcasting Company (co-owned with the Mount Holly Herald daily newspaper) and Mount Holly-Burlington Broadcasting Company, which proposed to build at Mount Holly, respectively. The three applications, mutually exclusive with each other, were designated for comparative hearing, in which major issues included nighttime coverage and protests by two nearby outlets, WFPG in Atlantic City and WBCB at Levittown, Pennsylvania. In an initial decision, FCC hearing examiner Jay A. Kyle selected the Burlington County Broadcasting application in May 1962. Kyle found that the allocation of the station to Mount Holly—which had no licensed radio stations—over Burlington would promote equitable distribution of service, and that the Burlington County Broadcasting application would serve more people than that of Mount Holly-Burlington, headed by John J. Farina. Appeals of the initial decision at the FCC stretched well into 1963; when Farina's credibility was questioned, he submitted to a lie detector test, believed to be a first in an FCC proceeding. Burlington Broadcasting was finally denied in June 1963, in an initial decision that granted the construction permit to Mount Holly-Burlington. On December 14, 1963, Burlington County gained its first radio station when WJJZ began broadcasting as a 5,000-watt, daytime-only outlet. The brand-new station aired a middle-of-the-road music format, though an omen as to the rocky history that would ensue was quick to come. On its fourth day of operation, a field mouse entered the transmitter on Burlington Island; it was electrocuted, and the station was silenced for 30 minutes. Within months, a series of legal problems derailed the station's operations. Burlington Broadcasting challenged the FCC decision against its application in court; the court ordered hearings be held. In July 1964, the station failed to appear at a hearing in Mount Holly; as a result, the company was placed in default and a receiver appointed. Days later, the FCC hearing examiner recommended that the
