WJTB (1040 AM) was a daytime-only radio station licensed to North Ridgeville, Ohio, serving Greater Cleveland. Owned by Taylor Broadcasting Co., the station had broadcast a combination of gospel music and religious programming, and for a period of time, served as the Cleveland affiliate for the Sheridan Gospel Network. WJTB's studios (since demolished) were located in Elyria, while the station's transmitter resided on Root Road in North Ridgeville.

History

WJTB first went on the air on September 16, 1984.[2] In February 2012, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) fined WJTB $10,000 for failing to maintain a management and staff presence at its main studio.[3] On June 2, 2017, the station's license was canceled for not paying debts it owed to the FCC.[4]

Programming

The station aired a local gospel program on Saturday nights, Nettie and the New Sound in Gospel.[5]
