KTJM Station History

The station signed on in the 1950s as KPAC-FM. The station changed its call sign to KHYS in 1977 with an album rock format. Around the mid 80s the format changed to Urban Adult Contemporary as "Y98.5, The Best Variety Of Hits and Dusties." Around 1989, the format became Urban Contemporary as "Kiss 98.5" going head to head with KMJQ, "Majic 102".

When "Yo 1590 Raps!" came about on KYOK 1590 AM in response to their flip from Gospel to Rap, in February 1991, the format changed back to "Y98.5 Is Back, playing the best variety of Hits and Dusties." In 1993, KJOJ and KYOK began simulcasting as "Y98.5". KJOJ-FM has been simulcasting since. The station would play Smooth Jazz on Sundays.

In 1994, KYOK became Urban Oldies as "1590 KYOK, Solid Gold Soul" and dropped the simulcast.

In 1995, the simulcast flipped to Smooth Jazz, known as "Smooth FM 98.5 and 103.3".

On February 24th, 1997, after stunting with a loop of the song Kiss by Prince, the format changed to Rhythmic CHR as "Kiss 98-5, Kiss Again 103-3", targeting the Hispanic teenage market playing heavy doses of Freestyle and House music, mimicking the style of Power 96 in Miami. In June 1998, the "Kiss 98-5, Kiss Again 103-3" format was tweaked again to rival "104 KRBE", by playing Rock/Pop based Top 40.

On January 1, 1999, the station jumped on the Rhythmic Oldies bandwagon as "98.5 The Jam". Their call letters changed to KTJM. During 1999 to 2001, only the station's moniker would change to "Houston's Jammin' Oldies" then to "Houston's Jammin' Hits".

In July 2001, the station would make its flip to the current Regional Mexican "La Raza" format. KTJM's Regional Mexican format outlasted every genre on KHYS since the 1980s.

KJOJ-FM Station History

The station signed on as KGUL. Its call sign changed to KGLF-FM in 1985. In 1990, the station's call sign changed to KJOJ. In 1991, the call sign changed to its current KJOJ-FM.

From 1990 to 1993, the station was known as "Good News Radio KJOJ 103.3" as a Christian format. The Call signs meant K Joy Of Jesus. The simulcast with 98.5 FM began in 1993.
