News and weather updates are broadcast throughout the day. KFMJ airs top-of-the-hour news from USA Radio Network and George Noory and Art Bell's program Coast to Coast after 9pm local time.
Starting in 2004, KFMJ became the home for Kayhi Kings & Lady Kings sports broadcasts at the request of Ketchikan High School.
