## History

[edit]

On June 15, 1968; 56 years ago (1968-06-15), the station first signed on. Its original call sign was KJAX. Owned by Joseph Gamble Stations Inc., it was the FM sister station to KJOY (1280 AM, now KWSX).[4] On November 15, 1989, KJAX changed its callsign to KJOY-FM.[5][6]

On June 26, 1998, Joseph Gamble Stations sold KJOY to Silverado Broadcasting, headed by Ron Miller, for $3.6 million.[7][8] In February 2003, Silverado sold four stations, including KJOY, to Citadel Broadcasting for $25.5 million.[9] On March 10, 2011, Cumulus Media purchased Citadel for $2.4 billion.[10] The deal closed on September 16, 2011 following a review of the deal by the Federal Communications Commission and divestitures required to comply with ownership limits.[11][12]
