Format history

"107-9 Jamz"

The 107-9 Jamz format debuted in 2000 with the call letters KSJM, mainly played R&B and classic soul music and was the home of the Tom Joyner Morning Show. In 2002, the station started adding Jazz into it's programming after the demise of Smooth Jazz station KWSJ-98.7 (Now Talk KFH-FM)

In 2004, KSJM added hip hop to the playlist, and aired Doug Banks. Banks' morning show was later replaced by a local morning show. In 2007, KSJM's local morning show was replaced by Steve Harvey.

KSJM was co-owned through a joint partnership with Sherman Broadcasting (the original main owner) and Carter Broadcast Group (owners of Kansas City urban station KPRS and gospel KPRT).

"US-107.9."

On October 10, 2007 the two companies sold the station to Larry Steckline's AG Network Group.On January 15, 2008, AG Network announced that KSJM would flip from Urban to Country as KWLS "US-107.9.". [http://www.radioandrecords.com/RRWebSite/NewsStoryPage.aspx?ContentID=yzZuEllq3v0%3d&] . The station switched formats on January 19, 2008. KWLS shares its call letters with an AM station in Pratt, Kansas, (Super Hits 1290) that was formerly owned by Steckline in the 1980s & 90's.
