FM broadcasting The transmission of audio through frequency modulation

FM broadcasting is a method of radio broadcasting using frequency modulation (FM) technology. Invented in 1933 by American engineer Edwin Armstrong, wide-band FM is used worldwide to provide high-fidelity sound over broadcast radio. FM broadcasting is capable of better sound quality than AM broadcasting, the chief competing radio broadcasting technology, so it is used for most music broadcasts. Theoretically wideband AM can offer equally good sound quality, provided the reception conditions are ideal. FM radio stations use the VHF frequencies. The term "FM band" describes the frequency band in a given country which is dedicated to FM broadcasting.

History

KMJE programmed a Spanish AC format, which debuted on December 10, 2013 with Spanish Holiday music programming upon its launch under new owners Lotus. KMJE in the past featured various programming formats which are listed below starting with the last format first:

KCCL played classic hits (known as K-HITS) from the 1960s, 1970s and 1980s and every song is a hit from those decades from January 5, 2007 to May 29, 2013, when it swapped places with KMJE (who moved from 101.5) and began stunting with a loop directing listeners to KCCL's new home at 101.5, which lasted until July 1, 2013.
KXCL, aired a 1980s hits music format from August 1, 2005 - January 5, 2007, branded as "Flash 92.1".
KBDB, aired an adult hits music format from March 15, 2005 - August 1, 2005, branded as "Bob 92.1".
KREL, aired a country music format from November 17, 2003 - March 15, 2005, branded as "Real Country 92.1".

Adult hits is a radio format that draws from a wide array of popular music.

Country music, also known as country and western, and hillbilly music, is a genre of popular music that originated in the southern United States in the early 1920s. It takes its roots from genres such as American folk music and blues.

The station changed its call sign to KMJE-FM on August 12, 2014, in preparation for the launch of AM sister station KMJE. It changed its call sign back to KMJE on April 17, 2017, when its AM sister station changed its call sign to KVMX.
