Two years after flipping to Traditional Country, KKOJ/1190 (Jackson, Minn.) and translator K249EO/97.7 have moved to Classic Country.
Jason Jacobs, KKOJ Program and Operations Director, said in an interview with the station’s “Morning Juice” that listeners enjoyed the Traditional Country format but said that they didn’t have a place to just here the older songs.
KKOJ had previously played Country songs from the `80s to today. The change gives more separation between KKOJ and sister station “Xtreme Country 105.7” (KUXX Jackson), with “Xtreme” focusing on newer songs and gold going back to the early 2000s and KKOJ now playing Classic Country hits from the `60s to the `90s.
The stations are owned by Community First Broadcasting.
No local staff was affected. KKOJ continues to air hourly newscasts from FOX, local news, weather, and sports, and ag markets.
