WJCC (A.M. 1700 kHz) is a radio station licensed to Miami Springs, Florida. It is the expanded band station of WNMA/1210. It broadcasts a world ethnic format.

WJCC 1700 is notable as the first broadcasting home of South Florida sports radio personality Jorge Sedano, who began his career in 1999 as a host/update anchor/producer at the station, then known as WAFN-AM 1700 "The Fan." Jorge would go onto a successful radio career with the Fox Radio Sports Network and is currently a radio and television personality at ESPN.[2]

During its time as "The Fan," WAFN 1700 carried programming from New York's "Sports Radio 66 and 101.9 FM" (WFAN-AM and WFAN-FM), and also carried the controversial Don Imus morning show.
