The Bargain Channel

WJXR 92.1 FM is a U.S. radio station located in Macclenny, Florida in Baker County. The bulk of the station's airtime is devoted to the Bargain Channel Program, which consists of broadcasting cut-rate prices on a wide variety of items. The station was purchased in 1985 by Sarah and Greg Perich and was converted soon thereafter to a larger, more bargain-oriented format.[1]

Popularity

The Bargain Channel's popularity rests, in part, in the idiosyncrasies of the hosts and the matchless scope of the items being sold. For example, the Bargain Channel has marketed large quantities of batteries, "miscellaneous" meats, tiger's eye men's rings, and burlap sacks. Many of the products on WJXR are sold in seemingly randomly matched packages, such as 4 packs of miscellaneous chicken combined with a 2 person vactation to either Disney World or Sea World for only $109.

Trivia

The Bargain Channel's call letters stand for "Jacksonville Radio."
