KIJZ is a commercial radio station in Vancouver, Washington, broadcasting to the Portland, Oregon area on 105.9 FM Broadcasting.

KIJZ airs a smooth jazz music format branded as "Smooth Jazz 105.9".

[edit] History

KIJZ signed on in 2001 with the call letters KBET, adopting a modern adult contemporary music format branded as "Star 105.9". A change of call letters to KSTE followed to match their "Star 105.9" branding.

On June 21, 2002, KSTE, dropped the modern adult contemporary music format, likely due to lackluster ratings and direct competition from cross-town KRSK, which aired a similar modern adult contemporary music format; leading to a stunt where the radio station aired only short clips of almost all music genres branded as "Quick 106".

On June 25, 2002, KSTE adopted a classic hits music format branded as "The River". A change of call letters followed on June 28, 2002 to KRVO to better match "The River" branding.

On November 4, 2005, KRVO changed formats yet again adopting the smooth jazz music format that the Portland, Oregon area was lacking since the demise of KKJZ (now KLTH) on January 30, 2002. A change of call letters followed to the current call letters, KIJZ to match the name of the format and new branding as, "Smooth Jazz 105.9".
