. In 1941, it moved to its current frequency at 1240 kHz. It got a boost in power to 250 watts.
In the 2010s, WSNJ signed on its first FM translator, W260BW, on 99.9 FM in Bridgeton, New Jersey, which has since moved to Swedesboro, New Jersey and has increased its power and height. In 2018, WSNJ signed on its second FM translator, W260DK (now W289CY), in Milmay, New Jersey. W260BW is heard in Salem County and Gloucester County.
