KJOC (FM)
KJOC (93.5 MHz) is a commercial FM radio station licensed to Bettendorf, Iowa, and serving the Quad Cities radio market. It broadcasts an active rock radio format, known as "I-Rock 93.5". KJOC is owned by Townsquare Media, with studios and offices on Brady Street in Davenport, Iowa.
KJOC has an effective radiated power (ERP) of 6,000 watts. Its transmitter is located on 205th Street in rural LeClaire in Scott County.
The station signed on the air as KBQC-FM, on July 4, 1984. The call sign stood for "Bettendorf-Quad Cities". KBQC-FM first began broadcasting live from a bandshell in Middle Park, during the "Old Fashioned 4th of July" event staged by the city of Bettendorf. For several weeks prior to going live, the station had broadcast The Beatles' "Here Comes the Sun" continuously, as a teaser to the slogan of the station, "B-93, Where it's Always 93 and Sunny".
KBQC was Bettendorf's first licensed commercial FM radio station, and was built off an FCC construction permit issued in May 1983, after a contentious application process by several proposed owner/operators.
The prevailing party was Stromquist Broadcast Services, owned by Peter Stromquist, of Edina, Minnesota. Stromquist and his first hired employee, Barry Martin, originally from Joplin, Missouri, oversaw construction from the ground up, of the transmitting facilities in LeClaire, Iowa, and of the new studios and offices on State Street in downtown Bettendorf, located adjacent to Omeara's Pub. When the station premiered, Martin was known as "Martin in The Morning" and served as the host of morning drive time.
Stromquist sold his interest in the station in 1985 and went on to become VP/GM Europe Middle East, Africa for United Press International, CEO of ABC's radio division in Asia, and Director of Mainland China operations for the broadcasting division of Paris-based Hachette media.
Martin subsequently became the morning host of KVON in the San Francisco Bay Area for nearly 20 years, and later worked in public relations for local government.
The station underwent a number of format changes from the late 1980s through the mid-1990s. Formats included oldies as KGLR-FM and Christian rock as KQCS.
