KMJC (AM)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
KMJC-AM Radio 620 is a Jefferson Public Radio station based in Mt. Shasta, California.
[edit] History
The station, founded in the 1940's by brothers Jonathan and David Rees of the Shasta Cascade Broadcasting Corporation, signed on the air as KWSD-AM. After the "K", the call letters originally stood for W (Weed) S (Shasta) D (Dunsmuir). It played various formats over the years from rock to country to news talk.
KWSD was one of the stations sold to Siskiyou Radio Partners, Inc. in 1995, owned by Tom Huth and Bob Darling. The call letters were changed to KMJC, as was its FM sister station KEDY. KMJC's format was changed to news talk. The station was then sold to Four Rivers Broadcasting, who also purchased KMJC-FM, KSYC-AM, KSYC-FM and then KWHO-FM in 2001.
Two years later, Jefferson Public Radio acquired both KMJC-AM and KSYC-AM from Four Rivers.
