History
KKOJ first signed on the air in 1980, serving Jackson, Minnesota, and the surrounding Southwest Minnesota and Northwest Iowa regions.[6]
For many years, the station operated under the ownership of Dakota Broadcasting, LLC. In early 2016, the station and its sister station (then KRAQ) were acquired by Community First Broadcasting, LLC, a group that operates several stations across the "Iowa Great Lakes" and Southern Minnesota region.[7] On January 11, 2022, KKOJ shifted its musical focus from a standard country format to its current Classic Country format, branded as "True Country."[8]
