History

The station was first authorized in the early 1990s as part of a new frequency allocation for the Slayton market. It officially signed on the air in 1993. Prior to adopting its current identity, the station briefly held the call sign KAED in early 1993, followed by KLOH-FM later that year to align with its sister AM station KLOH. On February 17, 1995, the station officially transitioned to its current KJOE call letters and "K-Joe 106.1" branding. [6]
