Broadcasting for the inquisitive mind and the sophisticated ear.
Our Story
Where Soul Meets Conversation
WJBR Internet Radio was born from a love of soulful music and the belief that great conversations deserve great soundtracks. We broadcast for the inquisitive mind and the sophisticated ear — playing R&B, NeoSoul, Gospel, Jazz, Blues, House, and more.
Home of Brunch in the Basement, where celebrities, indie artists, politicians, and everyday people pull up a chair and share their stories. Warning: you may hear explicit language, gospel music, house music, jazz, pop, soul, Motown, and interviews with everyone from celebrities to your next-door neighbor. Grown Folks only.
We are fully licensed via Live365, covering listeners across the USA, Canada, and the United Kingdom.
