Every Sunday, the Weekend Top 30 with Hollywood Hamilton and Club Kane is aired

History

This station received its original construction permit from the Federal Communications Commission on August 31, 1995.[5] The new station was assigned the call letters KAVJ by the FCC on June 1, 1997.[1] KAVJ received its license to cover from the FCC on February 25, 1999.[6]

In August 2002, Valentine Coastal Communications, Inc. (Bernie Foster, owner) reached an agreement to sell this station to Brooke Communications, Inc. (Patrick Markham, president) for $650,000.[7] The deal was approved by the FCC on October 21, 2002, and the transaction was consummated on December 16, 2002.[8] At the time of the sale, the station broadcast an oldies music format branded as "101.1 Cool FM".[7]

The oldies format persisted until 2008 when the station became a full-time affiliate of ESPN Radio branded as "The Score". The station was assigned the current KSKR-FM call sign by the Federal Communications Commission on June 7, 2008.[1]

On October 1, 2011, KSKR-FM changed their format from sports (which continues on sister station KSKR (1490 AM in Roseburg, Oregon)) to contemporary hits, branded as "Jelli 101.1".

On December 13, 2013 KSKR-FM moved from 101.1 FM to 100.9 FM. The branding was modified to “Jelli 101” on the new frequency.

On June 26, 2014, Jelli announced it would shut down its radio platform on the 29th. That same day, KSKR-FM held an on-air funeral to sign off Jelli 101. Afterward, the station continued its CHR format, but without any imaging except for the top-of-the-hour station ID, which it ran until the following day at Noon, when it rebranded as i101, continuing to promote their music as being chosen (at least partly) online by listeners.[9]

gollark: That reminds me, I really ought to figure out autocrafting.
gollark: Skynet? No.
gollark: Just realised that running two skynet instances at once may break horribly. I should fix that somehow.
gollark: I do care slightly. PotatOS uses require and not os.loadAPI, as do my libraries.
