History
The station first signed on in January 1968 as KFJB-FM.[4] It was simulcast with co-owned AM 1230 KFJB. The two stations were owned by the Marshall Electric Company. KFJB-FM was powered at only 27,500 watts, a quarter of its current effective radiated power (ERP).

gollark: Why NOT make a unary calculator, or a calculator which solves halting problems, or or one which only runs some sort of deranged LISP?
gollark: There are probably lots of ideas for calculators which haven't been explored much because they're "really stupid" or "mathematically impossible" or "against the laws of physics" or "entirely useless". NO MORE, I say.
gollark: Or use low power hardware and run it entirely off solar or something, there are many possibilities.
