What Is News Radio 920 AM & 104.7 FM?

Updated

News Radio 920 AM & 104.7 FM is a Providence, Rhode Island–area radio station known as WHJJ, carrying a news, traffic, and weather format. If you want Providence-focused news and traffic updates on AM or FM, or you want to stream the station online, this is the station to look for. The "920" in the name refers to its AM dial position, not to a channel number, product, or service.

What the station is

  • Call letters: WHJJ
  • Branding: News Radio 920 AM & 104.7 FM
  • Format: News, traffic, and weather
  • Market: Providence, Rhode Island, and the surrounding area
  • Positioning: The station describes itself as "Providence's News, Traffic & Weather"

The dual branding (920 AM and 104.7 FM) means the same programming is carried on both an AM frequency and an FM translator frequency, so listeners can tune in on either band depending on what their radio receives best.

How to listen

You can listen in two general ways:

  1. Over the air on a radio

    • Tune an AM radio to 920.
    • Tune an FM radio to 104.7.
    • Expect the same news, traffic, and weather programming on both.

  2. Online

    • The station's website (newsradiori.iheart.com) is the official entry point for its content and live listening.
    • Because it is an iHeartMedia station, live streaming is typically available through the station site and the iHeartRadio platform. Check the site for the current listen-live link, since streaming options and any sign-in requirements can change.

If one signal is weak in your location, try the other band before assuming the station is off air — AM and FM coverage differ, especially indoors and at night.

What you'll hear

The format centers on three things:

  • News: Local and regional reporting for the Providence area, plus broader headlines.
  • Traffic: Road and commute conditions relevant to Rhode Island drivers.
  • Weather: Forecasts and conditions for the Providence area.

This combination makes it a practical choice for commuters and anyone who wants local updates rather than music programming.

Coverage area

The station serves Providence, Rhode Island and nearby communities. Actual reception depends on your distance from the transmitter, your radio, and whether you're listening on AM or FM. AM signals can travel farther at night but are more prone to interference; FM translators usually give clearer local coverage.
