KKJY
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
KKJY-AM (1550 khz) is an American radio station based in Albuquerque, NM. It is locally owned by Vanguard Media and has a soft adult contemporary format branded as "Joy AM".
For many years the station broadcasted on the 1520 AM frequency. It mostly carried programming that was broadcasting on the 107.9 FM frequency. However the station could only be heard during daytime hours due to night time interference from KOMA-AM (now KOKC) out of Oklahoma City. In 1995 it broke off from 107.9 simulcasting and began to run children's programming but it would return to simulcasting after less than two years. In 2000 it was sold to Vanguard and moved to the 1550 frequency which can allow for it to be heard better at night. It began broadcasting an adult standards format to fill a void left after KIVA-AM 1310 had dropped the format for talk. It picked up the KKJY call-sign that had once belonged locally to 100.3 FM which had a long running easy listening format until 1994. In 2006 the stations format shifted to soft AC. The station streams it's signal on the internet from its website. Vanguard also owns KRKE-AM 1600 a station playing "real oldies" from the 50's and 60's.
