KMJJ was originally known as Majic FM 100 then on 100.1 FM debuting an urban format on August 1, 1988, flipping from easy listening KCOZ. It has been a heritage urban-formatted station since in the Shreveport area. In April 1993 KMJJ moved to 99.7 FM and upgraded to 50,000 watts. In the years since it has gained competition from KDKS and KBTT; it gained format companionship in 2004 when KVMA-FM took to the air. Since January 2008, KMJJ is the syndicated home of Big Boy's Neighborhood, replacing the Doug Banks Morning Show.
