Description
WTJX is the radio service of the Virgin Islands Public Broadcasting System, publishing its radio section at /wtjxfm/ on its own site under the headings "Now Playing - WTJX FM - 93.1" and "Now Playing - WTJX AFRO - HD2", so it runs two radio streams and this row is the 93.1 service. Its own site metadata describes it as "NPR St. Croix, NPR St. Thomas, NPR St. John, NPR Virgin Islands", and its own stream announces itself as "WTJX NPR". The broadcaster states its mission as partnering with individuals, foundations, corporations and Government Agencies "to develop community engagement projects, designed to enhance the quality of life for everyone in the Virgin Islands", and its vision as "WTJX, Educating everyone in the Virgin Islands from the cradle to the rocking chair".

Artists
None available by name. The station's own stream sends programme names rather than track credits: two samples sixteen minutes apart both returned "Cafe Jazz", which is a show title from its own grid, not a song.

Contact route
A Contact Us page carrying an embedded web form, a street address, a switchboard telephone number and a fax number, plus its senior management named individually with role, email address, desk telephone and mobile number, and the published undertaking "your call, email or fax will be responded to within 24 hours". Five independent routes to a named human.

Era
Not the point for the news and talk service; the music strands are format-based, jazz, soul, blues and Latin, rather than decade-based.
|
WTJX.org | 2026 |
|
Music
NPR member public radio: a news and talk service for most of the day, with specialist jazz, soul, blues and world music in the late evening and overnight.
|
WTJX.org | 2026 |
|
Language
English; every page, menu label, programme title and schedule entry on its own site is in English, and its locally originated talk and news programmes are English-titled.
|

|
Kind
Substantially a relay. The overnight 2:00 AM to 5:00 AM block is BBC World Service every night and most of the daytime is NPR and other national programming carried whole; the station's own origination is the weekday morning talk show, the weekday evening news bulletin and the specialist music strands. The stream is a 192 kbps MP3 mount whose icy-name and icy-description are both "WTJX NPR" and whose icy-genre is "NPR".

Worth knowing
Its published grid is verifiable rather than asserted: at the moment I read it, local time 12:58 on a Sunday, the grid's Sunday 12:00 PM to 2:00 PM slot was "Cafe Jazz" and the live stream's own metadata was reporting "Cafe Jazz", so the schedule and the audio agreed. The broadcaster also runs a second radio stream, WTJX AFRO on HD2, from the same page on a separate mount whose icy-name is "WTJX HD2", which belongs to its own row and not to this one.

Where
Christiansted, St. Croix, United States Virgin Islands, with the territory given in its own site metadata as St. Croix, St. Thomas and St. John; 93.1 FM for this service, stated as a heading on its own radio page.

On air
Neville James, named in the title of the station's own weekday morning talk programme. The schedule's own show descriptions also credit Bobby Jackson as host of "The Roots of Smooth Jazz" and Rick Mitchell, described there as a veteran journalist, radio host and educator, as host of "Jazz in The New Millennium"; both of those read as acquired programmes rather than local ones, and the station names no other on-air voice anywhere on its site.

What we corrected
Each of these changed a field in our own entry. The reasoning is the researcher's own, recorded when the change was made.
| Field | Change | Why |
|---|---|---|
| homepage url |
https://www.wtjx.org/
what it said before was not recorded; the
reasoning usually states it
|
The catalogue held no homepage; this is the broadcaster's own domain and it is live, although I could not read a page on it and the row is flagged RETRY. Evidence that the domain is the operator's own: stream.wtjx.org answers 200 and its response headers carry X-PBS-fwsrvname and X-KIDS-Map, which are PBS station-hosting platform headers, and www.wtjx.org answers from the same PBS openresty origin behind CloudFront. It answers 403 Forbidden, a 520-byte nginx deny, to every path I tried including robots.txt, the sitemap and the RSS feed, so the site exists and is refusing my network rather than being absent. I am recording plainly that I read none of its content. The station's radio section appears to live at the path /wtjxfm/ under the same domain; a human on a residential United States connection should read that page and, if it is the radio service's own section, replace this root with it, because the root also serves the television channel and nothing from the television service belongs on this row. |

confirmed
|
VI → VI | Confirmation, not a change. The station's own radio page at /wtjxfm/ is headed 'Now Playing - WTJX FM - 93.1', its page description reads 'NPR St. Croix, NPR St. Thomas, NPR St. John, NPR Virgin Islands', and its About page describes the Virgin Islands Public Broadcasting System as funded by the V.I. Government's legislative and executive branches. Recorded so the row is not re-opened later. || the field already held this value |

en
what it said before was not recorded; the
reasoning usually states it
|
The field was unset. Established from the service rather than from page markup, because a page's html lang attribute is the page's language and not the broadcast's. The row's own stream, http://quarrel.streamguys1.com:7405/wtjxfm, announces icy-name 'WTJX NPR' and icy-genre 'NPR' and was carrying the NPR programme Hidden Brain when read. The one local programme the site documents for radio, The Soul Show at /soul-show/, is an English-language soul and R&B show. The station's own radio pages are written in English throughout. The territory's public broadcaster serves an English-speaking United States territory. |
| homepage url | https://www.wtjx.org/ → https://www.wtjx.org/wtjxfm/ | Proposed, and the operator should judge it. The stored root https://www.wtjx.org/ is the television front door: it is branded PBS, 485KB of Channel 12 promotion, and it is where the network bleed on this row comes from. The radio service has its own page, /wtjxfm/, headed 'WTJX RADIO', which carries the 93.1 player, the HD2 player and a description naming NPR and the three islands, and which is linked from the site's own navigation as 'WTJX RADIO'. Pointing this radio row at the radio page keeps a future reader off the television schedule. If the catalogue wants homepage_url to mean the site root, ignore this one; nothing else in the findings depends on it. |

VI
what it said before was not recorded; the
reasoning usually states it
|
The radio page's own description names St. Croix, St. Thomas and St. John, and the System's stated mission is engagement projects for everyone in the Virgin Islands. No wider audience is claimed for the FM service. || refused: the same country as its origin (VI); this field is for a station made in one place for listeners in another |
| homepage url
confirmed
|
https://www.wtjx.org/wtjxfm/ → https://www.wtjx.org/wtjxfm/ | The catalogue held no homepage. This is the radio service's own page on the broadcaster's own domain, read in full from the Hetzner VPS after the agent's own connection was refused: www.wtjx.org answers a blanket nginx 403 to my connection but 200 from the VPS, so the earlier refusal was geographic and not a dead site. The page is headed "Now Playing - WTJX FM - 93.1" and "Now Playing - WTJX AFRO - HD2" and carries the station's own players; its own <title> is "wtjx-fm". I am proposing the radio section rather than the site root deliberately, because the root belongs to the Virgin Islands Public Broadcasting System as a whole and its About page opens "WTJX Channel 12 is the Virgin Islands Public Broadcasting System", i.e. the television channel, and its Programs menu mixes television and radio; pointing a radio row at that root is how the television service's people and programmes get attributed here. The trade-off is that /wtjxfm/ is thin, holding two players and no prose, so if a site root is required by convention use https://www.wtjx.org/ and keep the radio section as the schedule source. The station's own radio schedule is at https://www.wtjx.org/radio-schedule/. || the field already held this value |
| language code
confirmed
|
en → en | English, established from the operator's own pages once they could be read from the VPS. Every page, menu label, programme title and schedule entry is English: the radio section at /wtjxfm/, the Contact Us page, the About page, and the station's own weekly radio schedule, whose locally originated entries are "Analyze This with Neville James" and "WTJX NEWSFEED". The stream's own icy-name is "WTJX NPR". I did not infer this from the territory; I could not do so earlier only because the site refused my connection. || the field already held this value |
What we found and did not publish
Material that would have made this page fuller, and was refused. A page with five named presenters looks better than a page with none even when the five are a website theme's demonstration content, and the difference is invisible to a reader. So it is recorded here instead.
| What we could have said | Why we did not |
|---|---|
| A homepage and a radio-section path for this broadcaster | I am proposing the root as a correction because the domain is demonstrably the operator's own, but I am recording plainly that I read no content at either address and that the radio section still needs to be separated from the television service.
source |
| Anything about the television channel reachable through the same domain | The row covers the radio service only.
source |
| A radio schedule grid | the station's own Radio Schedule page carries a banner graphic titled "Radio Schedule" and nothing underneath it, so there is no schedule on the page to read, and I will not transcribe one out of an image.
source |
| Every programme and person belonging to the television service, including The Bookcase and its later seasons, Sarah & Addie, Sarah & Addie 2.0, PBS NewsHour, Homegrown and the PBS Kids strands | they sit in the same navigation and on the same site root, but they are WTJX Channel 12, and this row is the radio service.
source |
| The HD2 service and what it plays, which was Tekno "Pay" when checked | that is WTJX AFRO on the wtjxhd2 mount, which announces itself as "WTJX HD2", while this row's stream is the wtjxfm mount, which announces itself as "WTJX NPR".
source |
| A street address | the site's own footer and its own contact page give two different Christiansted addresses, so neither can be trusted, and an address would not be published here in any case.
source |
| A TuneIn player embed found in the radio page's source | it is commented out and inert, and a directory is not a permitted source here regardless.
source |
| Two different street addresses for the same broadcaster | The footer of every page gives one Christiansted address and the Contact Us page gives a different one, so its own pages disagree and I recorded only the town.
source |
| The television channel's identity and output | The About page opens "WTJX Channel 12 is the Virgin Islands Public Broadcasting System" and the site's Programs menu mixes the two services, listing PBS NewsHour, PBS Kids, a Vimeo stream, an on-demand video site and an EarthCam; none of that is the radio service and none of it is on this row.
source |
| Everything belonging to WTJX AFRO on HD2 | It is a second radio service on its own mount, named separately on the same page.
source |
| A commented-out embed of a radio directory's player on the radio page | It sits inside an HTML comment, replaced by the station's own player, and a directory is not a permitted source in any case.
source |
| The stream's icy-url field, and the HD2 stream's icy-genre | Both contain the literal unconfigured defaults "url" and "genre".
source |
| Named management with their email addresses, desk and mobile numbers | Published on the Contact Us page, but I do not copy addresses or numbers into this file, and they are the broadcaster's officers rather than on-air presenters.
source |
| A "Radio Schedule" image file present among the page's assets | The schedule itself is published as a live widget that I read directly, so I used the widget and did not rely on a picture.

If you think something here is wrong
Tell us which fact and what you found instead. Everything above names its source and its date, so a disagreement can be settled by looking rather than argued. Where another site disagrees with us, it is usually because it is repeating a radio directory, and occasionally because we got it wrong. We would like to know which.
