72 Years Serving Texoma
I have told the story before. As a child, my family owned a vacation home on the Oklahoma side of Lake Texoma.
We made the drive down from Oklahoma City literally thousands of times over my seven-plus decades. That property was passed down from my grandfather, to my parents, and then to me. When the time comes, that same property will be my retirement home.
Growing up at our lake home, tuning the radio across the dial, I heard radio stations from faraway—and nearby. One of those radio stations was at 1500 on the AM dial. Today, that station is KJIM-AM.
Our new radio station went on the air, at 101.3 FM in 2018, adding day-and-night broadcasts of music, weather, and the most comprehensive local news on radio.
Many, many, years ago, listening to 1500 AM during those lazy days of summer, I realized that spot on the radio dial was a touchpoint for a lifetime of memories. That’s when I decided to call the radio station “The Memory Maker.” Hopefully, our music and features have sparked a few memories that are important to you, too.
KJIM-AM 1500, The Memory Maker, joins with KJIM-FM 101.3 to provide North Texas with The Best Songs on the Radio, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

CBS Radio News Who's Behind the Voice?
There is an industry joke, "You have a great face for radio." In fact, a voice can be very different from the person you might expect to see. So, it's always fun to connect a face with a familiar voice.
