KJMY

KJMY (99.5 FM) is a commercial radio station licensed to Bountiful, Utah, and serving the Salt Lake City metropolitan area, including Ogden and Provo. The station is owned by iHeartMedia, Inc., and it broadcasts a hot adult contemporary radio format, switching to Christmas music for much of November and December. The station's studios are located in West Valley City.

KJMY has an effective radiated power (ERP) of 40,000 watts. Its transmitter is on Nelson Peak Road in West Jordan. KJMY broadcasts using HD Radio technology. Its digital subchannel carries business news from Bloomberg Radio, which in turn feeds an FM translator at 99.1 MHz.

The construction permit was assigned the call sign KBZE on February 22, 1988, while it was still an unbuilt station. KBZE signed on the air on March 15, 1988; 37 years ago (1988-03-15). It was owned by the Bountiful Broadcasting Company and it carried a smooth jazz format as "The Breeze."

On February 14, 1989, the station changed its call letters to KLVV. As "K-Love," the station carried an adult contemporary format.

On October 8, 1990, KLVV flipped to Top 40/CHR as "Q-99."

On June 17, 1991, the station became KUTQ with the name "Rock 99". As KUTQ, the station achieved its highest ratings with the afternoon show Mick and Allen which later moved to KBER 101.1 FM.

On September 6, 1996, the station became KURR, and changed its format to classic rock, keeping the "Rock 99" name. In 1999, KURR was acquired by Clear Channel Communications, the forerunner to today's iHeartMedia.

After struggling in the ratings for many years, on November 4, 2004, the current call sign KJMY was adopted. The station's format became hot adult contemporary. KJMY became the only hot AC again in Salt Lake City following the reverting of KBEE to adult contemporary in February 2012. (KBEE later shifted back to Adult Top 40 in 2013.)
