KJOL (620 AM) is a radio station broadcasting a Christian format. Licensed to Grand Junction, Colorado, United States, the station serves the Grand Junction area. The station is owned by United Ministries.^[2]

History

KJOL transmitter tower (shared with KTMM)

KJOL was first licensed, as KSTR, to the Mountain States Broadcasting Company in Grand Junction, for 5,000 watts daytime-only on 620 kHz. The station changed its call sign to KKTK on March 1, 1994, to KKGM on October 12, 1994, and to KBZS on September 2, 1996.

Expanded Band assignment

On March 17, 1997, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) announced that eighty-eight stations had been given permission to move to newly available "Expanded Band" transmitting frequencies, ranging from 1610 to 1700 kHz, with KBZS authorized to move from 620 to 1680 kHz.^[3] However, the station never procured the Construction Permit needed to implement the authorization, so the expanded band station was never built.

Later history

On January 30, 1998, the station became KKGM for a second time, and later call changes included KKGJ on August 14, 1998, KSTR for a second time on December 4, 1998, KRDY on March 15, 1999, and on March 22 of that year, KRDY became an affiliate of Radio Disney children's network. KSTR for a third time on August 7, 2000, and KJOL on April 23, 2001.^[4]
