WJXR as The Bargain Channel
The bulk of the station's airtime was devoted to The Bargain Channel program, which consisted of broadcasting cut-rate prices on a wide variety of items, similar to the "Trading Post"-type programs that was the genesis of cable shopping channels like the Home Shopping Network. The station was purchased in 1985 by Sarah and Greg Perich and was converted soon thereafter to a larger, more bargain-oriented format.
As The Bargain Channel its popularity rested, in part, in the idiosyncrasies of the hosts and the matchless scope of the items being sold. For example, the Bargain Channel has marketed large quantities of batteries, "miscellaneous" meats, tiger's eye men's rings, and burlap sacks. Many of the products on WJXR were sold in seemingly randomly matched packages, such as 4 packs of miscellaneous chicken combined with a 2 person vacation to either Disney World or Sea World for only $109. These packages are known as "deals". Callers will often purchase items by saying "I want two deals of them batteries" or "can I get two deals of the pizza pans??"
