KMJC (620 AM) is a radio station broadcasting a talk radio format. Licensed to Mount Shasta, California, USA, the station is currently owned by Jefferson Public Radio.

History

The station, founded 1947 by David Rees Sr. of the Shasta Cascade Broadcasting Corporation, signed on the air as KWSD-AM. After the "K", the call letters originally stood for W (Weed) S (Shasta) D (Dunsmuir). It played various formats over the years from rock to country to news talk.

KWSD was one of the stations sold to Siskiyou Radio Partners, Inc. in 1995, owned by Tom Huth and Bob Darling. The call letters were changed to KMJC, as was its FM sister station KEDY. KMJC's format was changed to news talk. The station was then sold to Four Rivers Broadcasting, who also purchased KMJC-FM, KSYC, KSYC-FM and then KWHO-FM in 2001. Two years later, Jefferson Public Radio acquired both KMJC-AM and KSYC AM from Four Rivers.
