KFJK is a commercial radio station located in Fresno, California, broadcasting on 105.9 FM. KFJK airs an adult hits music format branded as "JACK FM".
[edit] History
In the late 1970's, 105.9 was an album rocker known as "106 KKDJ", the KKDJ callsign having been previously used in Los Angeles. KKDJ was the premiere rock station in Fresno throughout the 1980's, largely due to the popularity of their morning show, the Dean and Don Breakfast Club. KKDJ's dominance as a rocker was compromised when KMGX changed format from top-40 to rock in 1989. In 1994, KKDJ changed format from album rock to alternative under the nickname "105.9 The Edge". This format lasted a short time, and KKDJ once again made a go at competing with KRZR, but that was also short lived.
When Henry Broadcasting acquired KKDJ, they were relocated from their studios on Shaw Avenue to a small trailer in the KSKS/KMJ parking lot. (That trailer was previously used by sister station KDON-FM for live remotes) Henry Broadcasting also changed the format of KKDJ to Classic Rock to compete with KJFX. In 1996, KKDJ's format changed to Spanish as KRNC, "Romance 106". That evolved into the Spanish format "Viva 106", which was replaced in 2005 by a talk format known as "The Edge", with the callsign KKDG. The talk format barely made a dent in the ratings, and "Viva 106" (With Howard Stern in the morning) was temporarily revived until Jack-FM signed on.
