KCJJ (1630 AM) is a radio station licensed to serve Iowa City, Iowa, USA. The station is owned by Steve Bridges' (Soboroff) River City Radio. The station was assigned the KCJJ call sign by the Federal Communications Commission in 1982.[1]
KCJJ broadcast on the AM frequency of 1560 from 1977 until 1998. At 6 p.m. on October 14, 1998, KCJJ signed off 1560. At 9:14 that same night, KCJJ signed on 1630. For a while in 1999 and 2000, the 1560 frequency was re-activated under the call letters KCJK while the FCC fought various lawsuits questioning their requirement to sign off the old frequencies.
