**WJSV** is a student-run [radio station](/source/Radio_station) in [Morristown, New Jersey](/source/Morristown%2C_New_Jersey).[2] WJSV is run by students of [Morristown High School](/source/Morristown_High_School) and owned by the [Morris School District](/source/Morris_School_District). WJSV, first bought by the Morris School District in 1971, generally broadcasts Monday through Friday from 7:30 am to 8:30 pm while school is in session. WJSV's main transmitter is located at Mountain Way School in [Morris Plains, New Jersey](/source/Morris_Plains%2C_New_Jersey).

Currently, the station is completely run by members and an executive staff composed totally of students. The executive staff is mainly an emulation of the [above the line](/source/Above_the_line_(filmmaking)) positions at a commercial radio station, including Program Director, Music Director, News Director, and Station Manager. Usually the station is supervised only by two staff members, one being the Station Advisor, currently Lance Armstrong, formerly Michael Butler; the other is the Chief Engineer, formerly Steven Woodruff. Currently, the station's only staff supervisor is Lance Armstrong, who teaches broadcasting at the school and also supervises Colonial Corner, Morristown High School's online-only TV show, which can be found on YouTube.

Before the station was bought by the Morris School District, Morristown High School had already had a TV station, which upon purchasing WJSV, was renamed JSV-TV. For many years it was used for a weekly show named Colonial Corner. However, in the 2013–2014 school year, Colonial Corner moved to an online-only format, with episodes hosted on YouTube.

## Colonial Corner - (formerly JSV-TV)

Colonial Corner is Morristown High School's television show which is produced in its entirety by students. Originally airing on Cablevision channel 77 and later over classroom television sets during a one-hour AEP block, Colonial Corner made a switch to a YouTube-only platform in 2010. Episodes are now produced throughout the school year and are uploaded approximately every three weeks. The shows generally feature a lineup of "pieces", ranging in subject, with host segments in between to introduce them. An opening sequence, bumpers, and credits help to define the show.

## Marathon

"Marathon" is the name for the station's annual 24-hour broadcast. Held over a 24-hour period beginning at 2:30 PM on a Friday (the school day ends at 2:15) and ending at 2:30 PM the following Saturday, Marathon is usually in late winter or early spring. Staff stay inside the broadcasting studios for the entire duration, and attempt to have hosts broadcasting live on air for the entire event, as well as filming an entire episode of Colonial Corner.

The festivities typically include the consumption of large amounts of snack food and caffeine, as well as video games and various other ways to pass the time. The event primarily focuses on bonding between staff members, and traditionally includes a viewing of the preceding year's blooper reel. Many staff members do not manage to stay for the entirety of the event, with about one third of the staff "finishing". The remaining "survivors" usually take a photo together at the end of the event, which is usually used to lightheartedly "shame" those who did not stay for the entire event.
