History
The station first signed on February 10, 1960 as KSLY.[1] Original owner Rex O. Stevenson sold the station to Berry Broadcasters Inc. for $50,000 in April 1961.[2] In January 1976, KSLY Broadcasting Company, owned by Homer Odom, sold KSLY and FM sister station KUNA to two separate corporations owned by the same Chicago-based group for a combined $535,000.[3] Three years later, in July 1979, the station pair was sold to San Luis Obispo Broadcasting Inc., owned by Dudley A. White, for $1,575,000.[4]
In February 1984, KSLY, a top 40 outlet, switched call signs and formats with KUNA, which aired a beautiful music format.[5][6] The call letters changed again to KLTW in March 1985,[7] then to KKCB on May 13, 1988.[8][9]
On May 7, 1990, San Luis Obispo Broadcasting sold KKCB and FM station KSLY to MHHF Media Ventures Inc. for $1.6 million.[10] The new owner changed the AM station's call letters to KIXT on August 7, 1992.[11] Further call sign changes came on November 1, 1993 to KIID and on June 1, 1995 to KKJL.[9]
In April 2014, San Luis Obispo Broadcasting sold KKJL and its translator to Pacific Coast Media, LLC, which also owns KXTK, for $360,000.[12] The transaction closed two months later.[13]
Translator
In June 2010, San Luis Obispo Broadcasting purchased a translator station to simulcast KKJL on the FM band. That station, K293AW in San Luis Obispo, began rebroadcasting KKJL in November 2011 at the 106.5 MHz frequency.[14]
