KJMC (89.3 FM) is a non-commercial educational radio station serving the Des Moines, Iowa area with an Urban Adult Contemporary format. KJMC is owned by Minority Communications, Inc.

The station was originally licensed as KLNQ on November 2, 1998, replacing KUCB-FM after Minority Communications successfully challenged its license in a seven-year battle. It changed its callsign to KJMC on March 1, 1999, when it launched.

KJMC is the Des Moines market affiliate for the Tom Joyner Morning Show and the D. L. Hughley Show. Since KJMC is a non-commercial station, the national commercials are replaced with music, public service announcements and underwriting announcements from local businesses.

In July 2025, Minority Communications, Inc. entered into an asset purchase agreement to sell KJMC to American Family Radio for 1.125 million dollars.
