[edit] History
The Big JAB (as WJAB, the 1440 frequency) first came into prominence in the early 1960s, when it signed on as a (daytime-only) top 40 music station, giving major competition to cross-town WLOB. WJAB immediately became the top rated station in Portland, a position it held throughout the 1960s.
