KAJM (104.3 FM, "Mega 104.3 & 99.3") is a commercial Urban Oldies music radio station in Camp Verde, Arizona, broadcasting to the Phoenix, Arizona.

[edit] History

Previous formats include country, a AOR/Modern Rock/CHR format called “The Blaze”, a simulcast of CHR/Rhythmic KBZR-Coolidge (later KPTY-Gilbert), a return of the “Blaze” format (under the new name “CD Rock”), Traditional Oldies as “K-Best”, and a 60’s-90’s Rhythmic Oldies format, under the name “Arizona Jamz”, featuring sweepers with “Beavis and Butthead” sound bytes.

Carey Edwards, an established Phoenix air talent who had most recently been programming Rhythmic Oldies KGMG “Mega 106.3″ in Tucson, was brought to the station. Soon after his arrival, allaccess.com reported that KAJM would be “relaunched” soon. On April 20, 2001, at 5:00 pm, as Edwards applied the formula from KGMG — KAJM became “Mega 104.3 & 99.3″, with a much more focused playlist, improved production values, and live air talent.

In June 2007, KAJM moved its signal at 104.3 MHz from a location north of Payson, to Wildflower Mountain near Crown King, and changed its city of license to Camp Verde. Despite a power reduction, this location gives the station a little better coverage in the Phoenix metropolitan area, mainly in the western suburbs. [1] [2]
