WHAT IS JUMP 105.3?

Kids JumpingJUMP 105.3 is an online and microcasted FM radio station for kids and their families!
We're proud to offer a wide variety of well-known and independent music for listeners of all ages.

We hope our station makes you JUMP around, JUMP for joy, and JUMP at the opportunity to learn and experience new things every day!

90s BoomboxSo why make this station? What's the story?
Our founder, C.J., grew up in New England in the 90s, and loved listening to kids' radio, including the now-defunct Radio Disney, and a show called "The Playground" on WERS-FM. When he wasn't listening to the radio, he was pretending to be a radio DJ with his personal music collection!

As a grown-up, C.J. now lives in Pittsburgh, PA with his wife and two children. Realizing the city had no live and local kids' radio like he grew up on, he launched JUMP 105.3 out of his home on February 1, 2021!

The station was temporarily silenced on January 1, 2023, to be moved and rebuilt at its current studio in Allison Park, about 10 miles north of downtown Pittsburgh. Broadcasting resumed in January 2025, with the help of returning sponsor, Patrick Adams Books & Music!

JUMP 105.3 has always been a volunteer-based passion project, and all revenue is exclusively reinvested into the station's operating expenses. We greatly appreciate the musicians and on-air staff who generously donate their time and content to help fill our schedule!

A note for the grownups: As a father himself, our founder feels strongly about boundaries between young listeners and the adults who create content for them. For this reason, he has chosen to limit the ways that people can contact him, or the station, directly. That said, we cannot require or expect the same of our advertiser(s), show creators, or the musicians whose music is heard on the station. We encourage all caregivers to be vigilant and exercise caution when it comes to their children's online activity.
