History
[edit | edit source]KCJB first signed on the air in 1950.[5] During the early 1950s, the station was instrumental in bringing broadcasting to the region. In 1953, the station launched an associated television station, KCJB-TV (later KXMC-TV), making it the first television station in North Dakota [6]. The station was owned by businessman John W. Boler, who was involved in the development of other North Dakota radio and television outlets [7]. Early KCJB radio personalities included Jim Adelson (1952–1953) and Cis Hadley [8][9] In 2007, a proposed sale of 185 Clear Channel (now iHeartMedia) radio stations, including the entire Minot cluster, to Dean Goodman's GoodRadio, LLC, was announced [10]. The deal was ultimately terminated due to financing issues, resulting in KCJB and its sister stations remaining under iHeartMedia ownership.
