KJIN is a 1,000 watt AM station in Houma,Louisiana broadcasting most of the ESPN radio network programming with some locally produced programming.

[edit] History

This station was originally KCIL in the 1950s. This station however, has held the KJIN callsign for most of the past 30 years except for a 2 1/2 year period between 2000 and 2003 when it held KFXY which was the former callsign of today's KMYO. For most of it's recent past, it was a Am sister relay to KCIL, however the former owners Guaranty broadcasting, installed the ESPN sports format on the station to provide listeners in the area with a sports station that was listenable in the Houma area as the nearest sports stations were up to 50 miles away at the time.
