WJQM (106.7 FM) is a radio station serving Madison, Wisconsin and surrounding areas. The station is owned by Mid-West Family Broadcasting and launched a Rhythmic Contemporary format as "106.7 Jamz" in January 2007.

[edit] History

WJQM's history dates back to October 2005, when Mid-West Family Broadcasting began testing the 106.7 FM signal under the call letters WYZM, airing smooth jazz music normally heard on sister station WMGN during its "Magic Sunday Morning" program.

On December 1, 2005, WYZM changed to WSLK and began simulcasting the classic hits format of sister station WHLK ("The Lake at 93-1 and 106-7").

At 4PM on January 26, 2007, WSLK broke away from the "Lake" simulcast and began a Rhythmic Contemporary format, identifying themselves as WJQM "106.7 Jamz." This move was in direct response to WKPO dropping the Rythmic format two weeks earlier.
