Well, it's ALMOST right - of course, there isn't actually a WJAB in 
Portland and hasn't been for many a decade. Those calls are held by a 
noncommercial FM in Huntsville, Alabama (though I hear JJ has tried to 
get them back from time to time.)

So the combination of WJAE 1440 Portland, WJJB 900 Brunswick and WJJB-FM 
95.5 Topsham is "The Big Jab," known on-air as "WJAB" even though it 
doesn't really have those calls.

Except that 900 just changed calls from WJJB to WWBK, and 1440 will 
apparently soon change from WJAE to WJJB.

Confused yet? Let me tell you which Sox games will be on 680 and which 
ones will be on 850... :-)
