01History
KCJB first signed on the air in 1950. During the early 1950s, the station was instrumental in bringing broadcasting to the region. In 1953, the station launched an associated television station, KCJB-TV (later KXMC-TV), making it the first television station in North Dakota. The station was owned by businessman John W. Boler, who was involved in the development of other North Dakota radio and television outlets. Early KCJB radio personalities included Jim Adelson (1952-1953) and Cis Hadley.
In 2007, a proposed sale of 185 Clear Channel Communications radio stations, including the entire Minot cluster, to Dean Goodman's GoodRadio.TV, was announced. The deal was ultimately terminated due to financing issues, resulting in KCJB and its sister stations remaining under Clear Channel (now iHeartMedia) ownership.
