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 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.

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.
