Former Format:
From 2008-2011 KKMJ was an Adult Contemporary & 70's Oldies station airing a program called the Super Songs of The 70's weekend which was one of Austin's highly listened to Radio Shows along with Emmis owned KROX's Hypersonic Radio.
On Fridays from 3 PM to 7 PM the station played only 70's Oldies followed by Adult Contemporary music with Deliah and from 12:00 AM until 7:00 PM Saturday 70's Oldies followed by Deliah again 7:00 PM to 12:00 AM Sunday than back to 70's Oldies from 12:00 AM until 7:00 PM. On certain holidays the 70's Oldies continued. In late 2010 after Labor Day, the Super Songs of the 70's was dropped from Holiday weekends on played on their regular schedule.
After the start of the New Year the Super Songs of the 70's was reimaged featuring bits from Johnny Carson "Kathy is he more Urban or Rural" & "Wierd Wanda the Nature Lover", Don Knotts "Look who's talking Beaver face", Hawaii 5-0 intro theme, plus a vintage Lifesaver commercial "Girls are the reason Boys carry Lifesavers a part of living" this was about the third time The Super Songs of the 70s was reimaged, once in 2009, another in 2010, and in 2011 respectfully.
KKMJ's Super Songs of the 70's Weekend contributed to KKMJ's high ratings.
Before the Super Songs of the 70's Smooth Jazz was heard during those times.
The Super Songs of the 70's was the answer to the now defunct Oldies 103 KEYI, and now defunct Jammin 105.9 KFMK. Jammin dropped their 70's rotation in 2006.
As Of April 29, 2011 Majic dropped the Super Songs of the 70's weekend, and now calls itself "Continuous Soft Rock" The last airplay of the Super Songs of the 70's was on Sunday April 24, 2011.
