History

The Cedar Rapids allocation for 1360 AM signed on in 1961, alongside its FM sister station at 98.1 FM, both taking on the call letters KHAK. Both stations formatted country music—although not exclusively until sometime later in the 1960s—and for many years, the AM signal was duplicated on the FM frequency.

At some point in the mid-1990s, KHAK-AM changed its format to contemporary Christian as KTOF-AM, and was a simulcast of KWOF in Hiawatha. [3] On December 19, 2001, the station switched callsigns to the current KMJM [1] and began airing a nostalgia format of "American music classics" from the 1930s and 1940s. [3] KMJM would later flip to sports talk as "1360 The Fan."

On January 11, 2010, KMJM changed their format to classic country.

On October 10, 2017, KMJM flipped to adult standards, branded as "Leo 1360". [4] The station had been airing one adult standards-nostalgia based program in the past, "Jim Doyne's Musical Memories," airing at noon Sundays, prior to the format switch.

Every year during the first week of November, KMJM drops its regular format and plays Christmas music.

On May 4, 2020, at Midnight, KMJM changed their format to oldies, while retaining the "Leo 1360" moniker. [5]
