Programming

KSKR-FM broadcasts a contemporary hit radio format branded as "Jelli 101.1".[2] During its time as a sports station, KSKR-FM carried high school football and other local sporting events as a member of the Table Rock Sports Network.[3] KSKR-FM also aired University of Oregon Ducks football, baseball, and men's basketball as a member of the Oregon Sports Network.[4]

History

This station received its original construction permit from the Federal Communications Commission on August 31, 1995.[5] The new station was assigned the call letters KAVJ by the FCC on June 1, 1997.[1] KAVJ received its license to cover from the FCC on February 25, 1999.[6]

In August 2002, Valentine Coastal Communications, Inc. (Bernie Foster, owner) reached an agreement to sell this station to Brooke Communications, Inc. (Patrick Markham, president) for $650,000.[7] The deal was approved by the FCC on October 21, 2002, and the transaction was consummated on December 16, 2002.[8] At the time of the sale, the station broadcast an oldies music format branded as "101.1 Cool FM".[7]

The oldies format persisted until 2008 when the station became a full-time affiliate of ESPN Radio branded as "The Score". The station was assigned the current KSKR-FM call sign by the Federal Communications Commission on June 7, 2008.[1]

On October 1, 2011, KSKR-FM changed their format from sports (which continues on sister station KSKR (1490 AM in Roseburg, Oregon)) to contemporary hits, branded as "Jelli 101.1".
