History

More than four years after the initial application was filed, this station received its original construction permit from the Federal Communications Commission on July 28, 2005. [4] The new station was assigned the KJME call sign by the FCC on August 19, 2005. [5] The construction permit was scheduled to expire on July 28, 2008. [4]

The station belatedly applied for a license to cover on August 1, 2008, but the FCC dismissed the application on February 19, 2009, and the station was deleted from the FCC database. [6]

Station owner Timothy C. Cutforth filed a Petition for Reconsideration on March 23, 2009. [6] While a similar petition for Cutforth's KJJL was denied in June 2009, [6] the Commission granted KJME special temporary authority to operate on October 6, 2009, and restored the station's call sign to the FCC database. [7] The station's license was issued on January 6, 2012.

On December 11, 2018, KJME posted on its Facebook page [8] that it had ceased broadcasting given its "broadcast towers facility has reached the end of its agreement" and was not renewed, noting the station had "powered off until further notice" on November 24, 2018.

On January 9, 2020, the same page said the owner was "working on some transmitter issues", with no promise as to when the station would be back on air.

On February 7, 2022, KJME swapped call signs and formats with sister station KCEG.
