>>Is this station the AM counterpart to FM WHJY

Yes, I think so. The Station fire was 2 years ago today
(I remember talk about it on WHJJ just after the fire).
WHJY promoted the show and one of their DJs perished in the fire.

"The Doc Fund" has been established at The Rhode Island Foundation by Clear Channel Radio to remember the victims of The West Warwick Station Nightclub Fire, which claimed 100 lives on February 20, 2003. The Doc Fund will provide financial support to "The Station Nightclub Fire Relief Fund" designed to help victims and their families. The Doc Fund will also provide support for the Michael J. Gonsalves '86 Endowment Scholarship Fund at Rhode Island College.
Through its four radio stations, WHJY, WSNE, WWBB, and WHJJ, we will seek support, hold community-wide events and carry out other activities designed to support the mission of The Doc Fund.


The Station Nightclub Fire, the victims and their families commit the Doc Fund, for as long as there remains a need. The Doc Fund is a donor advised fund, and grant recommendations will be made by key advisors to the fund in support of its mission. In all respects the net income and/or principal of the Fund shall be used and disposed of for charitable purposes under and in accordance with the provisions of the Articles of Incorporation establishing The Rhode Island Community Foundation


Clear Channel Radio lost a dear friend and co-worker, Mike "The Doctor" Gonsalves in the fire. We hope to keep his memory and those of the other victims alive through The Doc Fund
