== History ==
=== As IndieWave (2005 - 2014) ===
RadiOJ launched on May 11th, 2005, under the name IndieWave. The station was the brainchild of Herschel Highlander, a former radio presenter for the Bellfort University station UBFM. The station's initial lineup of presenters included a number of Highlander's colleagues, as well as a few presenters new to the profession. At the start of the station's existence, IndieWave broadcast exclusively on 99.6FM nationwide. It remained on this frequency until 2014.
Highlander remained as CEO of the station until 2013, when he stepped down in favour of Marcial Cresson.
=== As RadiOJ (2014 - present) ===
On December 31st, 2013, the station announced it would be moving from FM to DAB. To commemorate its move, the station announced it would be rebranding to RadiOJ. The move and rebrand occurred at 5:30pm JST on June 2nd, 2014. The first song to play on the station after the rebrand was Up There by Winter Weather.
