History

The station began broadcasting in 1994, holding the call sign KKGO, and aired a classical music format as part of a simulcast with KKGO-FM in Los Angeles.[3] In June 1996, the station ended its simulcast with KKGO-FM, but continued to air a classical music format independently.[4] On August 30, 1996, the station's call sign was changed to KTRJ.[5]

In November 1999, the station's call sign was changed to KMAP, and it began airing Christmas music.[2][6] The station briefly returned to airing classical music in January 2000 before becoming a Radio Disney affiliate in March.[7][8][9]

In 2003, the station was sold to IHR Educational Broadcasting for $700,000, and it adopted a Catholic talk format as an affiliate of Immaculate Heart Radio.[10][11][12] On April 11, 2005, the station's call sign was changed to KJPG.[2]
