72 Years Serving Texoma

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.

Since December 9, 1947, KJIM has been broadcasting at 1500 on the AM radio dial, in one form or another. It was Sherman’s first commercial broadcast station. Its original programming was classical music and the radio station, over the years, offered a variety of formats. Now, 70 years later, KJIM-AM’s sister station KJIM-FM, is the area’s newest radio station at 101.3 on the dial.

KJIM-AM’s signal can be heard across North Texas and Southern Oklahoma. The new FM signal at 101.3 covers a 40-mile radius from its 370-ft tower in Denison on Texoma Parkway just north FM 691.
