KJMN (92.1 FM, "La Suavecita 92.1") is a radio station broadcasting a Spanish adult hits format licensed to Castle Rock, Colorado, United States, serving the Denver-Boulder area. The station is currently owned by Entravision Holdings, LLC. [1] [2] Its studios are located in Denver near Sports Authority Field at Mile High, and the transmitter is west of Castle Rock.
The 92.1 signal signed on the air in 1979 as country KMJD.
In 1984, the format changed to adult contemporary with the call letters KRKY.
In 1984, the format changed to jazz with the call letters KADX.
In 1988, the format changed to rock with the call letters KZRZ.
In 1989, the format returned to country with the call letters KYBG.
The format shifted to talk radio at some point, keeping the KYBG call letters.
On March 29, 1995, the station changed formats to modern rock as "92X" with the call letters KNRX. [3]
On February 29, 1996, at 8:00 pm, KNRX shook up the market by luring the airstaffers away from Rhythmic Top 40 KQKS (then known as KS104) and launched KJMN "JAM'N 92.1". [4] During its Rhythmic tenure, they would attack KQKS on air and on the streets, but the tactics would backfire the following November when KQKS was sold to Jefferson-Pilot, who would later shake up the airwaves in February 1997 by moving KQKS to 107.5 FM and quickly reclaiming their listeners/ratings thanks to the 107.5 signal having three times the power of 92.1 at the time.
KJMN's on-air staff included: Mornings—Mark & Laurie, Mark & Mercedes, Middays/Overnights—Brandon Scott, Afternoons—Michael Hayes, Nights—Sweet G, Late Nights—Ed Atkins. Weekends—Kevin O'Brien, Jess Kendall, Jay.
After EXCL Communications (later Entravision) acquired the station in January 1997, they pulled the plug on "JAM'N 92.1" that March 30 to bring Denver its first Spanish FM outlet, launching Spanish AC "Radio Romántica 92.1", but kept the KJMN calls. However, by 2004, they would flip to Entravision's Spanish Top 40 "Super Estrella" format. The station is currently a "satellite" repeater station programmed out of Los Angeles, running local Denver advertising. No original programming is done in Denver.
In January 2009, KJMN switched formats from Super Estrella's Spanish AC format to the "Jose" Spanish adult hits format. [5]
On January 10, 2018, as part of a company-wide change, KJMN and sister simulcaster KMXA dropped the "Jose" format and flipped to an 80s/90s Spanish hits format as "La Suavecita." [6]
On January 21, 2019, KMXA split from its simulcast with KJMN and switched to "ESPN Deportes" Spanish sports, while KJMN rebranded as "La Suavecita 92.1". [7]
