WIUJ (102.9 FM) was a non-commercial radio station licensed to serve Charlotte Amalie, U.S. Virgin Islands. The station was owned by Virgin Island Youth Development Radio, Inc. It aired a Variety format featuring jazz, classical, and Caribbean music, plus news, current events coverage, as well as live daily broadcasts of the Virgin Islands Senate.[1]

WIUJ's studios and transmitter were located on the premises of WTJX-TV on St. Thomas, US Virgin Islands.[2] WIUJ has been assigned these call letters by the Federal Communications Commission since it was originally licensed.[3]

The station ceased operations on January 31, 2020, after more than 44 years on the air. Its license was cancelled February 4, 2020.
