[edit] History
KJMM signed on the air in 1994 as the Urban Contemporary-formatted station for Tulsa. It was one of three original Urban stations launched with the help of Perry Broadcasting, an African-American-based media company under the "Power Jammin'" network (KVSP in Oklahoma City and KJMZ in Lawton are the other two) at a time when the owner believed the African-American community was underserved in the radio media. Nevertheless, the station played Hip Hop, R&B, Rap and Gospel over the years and was originally called Fresh Jamz 105. In 2004, KJMM changed its name to 105.3 K-Jamz, began carrying the Doug Banks Morning Show -- while sending the previously-aired Tom Joyner Morning Show to sister station KGTO, an Urban AC station under ABC Radio's "The Touch" network. In December 2007, KJMM became the new affiliate of the Los Angeles-based Big Boy's Neighborhood, replacing Doug Banks.
