It began broadcasting in 2001 and has had a live morning show hosted since then by Vaughn Zenko. With the launch of the station, several former DJs appeared using alternate names inspired by "Scooby-Doo" including "Daphne Blake", "Freddy Jones", and "Shaggy Rogers" as well as another male, and previous co-host of the morning show, referred to as "The Most Hated Man in Baker". The station occasionally airs play-by-play of local high school sports.

The station was assigned the KJJM call letters by the Federal Communications Commission on May 11, 1998.[1]
