WJBR (1010 kHz) is an AM radio station licensed to Seffner, Florida, United States, serving the Tampa Bay market with a sports/talk format known as "Florida Alumni Radio". Owned by the Beasley Broadcast Group, the station's studios are located on Executive Center Drive in St. Petersburg.
By day, WJBR transmits with 50,000 watts, the maximum for commercial AM stations. As 1010 AM is a clear channel frequency reserved for Class A stations CFRB Toronto and CBR Calgary, WJBR must reduce power to 5,000 watts at night. Its transmitter is off Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard (Florida State Road 574) in Seffner, using a directional antenna with three-tower array to protect other stations from interference. It is directional towards the east and west to protect WJXL Jacksonville by day, which also operates on 1010 AM. WJBR's call sign was granted by the Federal Communications Commission on September 19, 2023. It is also heard on one FM translator, at 92.1 MHz in Tampa.
