KMJ-AM in Fresno is hitting its 100th anniversary, and the radio station is ready to kick off the celebrations to commemorate the milestone. The festivities will contain a concert to be announced and a documentary movie.
“I started listening to KMJ in my 20’s. Over the past 33+ years, I have had the great honor and privilege to have worked with some of the greatest talent in the business, both on air and in sales. I am truly grateful and humbled by the fact that I have been so blessed to serve our valued listeners – this is my home!” Cumulus Fresno VP/Market Manager Patty Hixson said.
“The KMJ Brand will continue to serve our community and central California through continued focus on relevant content, philanthropy, and ethical business practices. Every day we aspire to be great… and it’s the men and women that work here every day, and have done so for the past 100 years, who deserve all the credit for achieving such a wonderful milestone.”
Since the station went on air on March 23, 1922, and is the 38th oldest licensed and continually working radio station in America. KMJ has delivered listeners in Fresno and California’s Central Valley with news, current events, music, sports, religion, drama, comedy, and public service.
“It’s been an amazing run, and it’s far from over. KMJ has covered everything from the Harding administration to the Biden White House,” Program Director Blake Taylor added.
“Terrible tragedies to inspirational triumphs and everything in between. The service to the public of Fresno and the entire Central Valley of California will continue to be our sole focus for the next 100 years.”
