originally a blend of traditional adult standards and big bands from the 1930s, 1940s and early 1950s. Core artists originally included Frank Sinatra, Tommy Dorsey, Mills Brothers, Peggy Lee, Ella Fitzgerald, Louis Armstrong, Andrews Sisters, Artie Shaw, Bing Crosby, Duke Ellington, and others. The station, initially, only played a handful of songs newer than 1955 and sounded similar to the 1981 version of 1130 WNEW. In 1994, more easy listening artists such as Nat King Cole, Tony Bennett, Ray Charles, Lettermen, Perry Como, Jerry Vale, pre-1970 Barbra Streisand, and others were added and Jukebox began playing more of the 1960s non rock songs but no baby boomer pop just yet. Jukebox Radio was commercial free originally but each hour was underwritten by various sponsors. In 1995, WJUX was able to become a commercial station when buying commercial license 99.7 FM in Monticello, New York, which was nearly 100 miles away, becoming WJUX-FM. WJUX-LP 103.1 in Bergen County became a translator station for WJUX. But what was unusual was that the station's studios and offices and announcers were all based in Bergen County. The station transmitted from the 103.1 frequency and sent the signal through fiber optic cable to WJUX-FM in Monticello which rebroadcast the signal to the north-western section of The Hudson Valley. At this point, Jukebox Radio became a commercial station. In 1995, Jukebox Radio began mixing in baby boomer pop artists like Elvis Presley, Beatles, Neil Diamond, Carpenters, James Taylor, and others. Initially the songs were softer and heard a few times an hour. By 1996, more soft AC artists as well as Oldies artists from the 50's and 60's were mixed in. This included Elton John, Four Tops, Chicago, Billy Joel, Temptations, Stevie Wonder, and others. The station had cut out Big Bands altogether and began cutting back on standards artists as well. The station was about half standards, and half Oldies and Soft AC gold. In 1997, most standards artists and songs were dropped and the station shifted to Oldies from 1955 to about 1989. The station remained an oldies outlet throughout 1998 and 1999. In June 2000, with an announcement several weeks before, Jukebox Radio flipped back to adult standards from Oldies. This standards format would focus on the Sinatra type artists but would also mix in a lot of softer songs by rock and roll oldies artists and some soft AC cuts. The station
