KJJR (880 AM, "News Talk 880") is a radio station licensed to serve Whitefish, Montana, United States. The station is owned by Bee Broadcasting, Inc. It airs a news/talk format.[1]

Original programming when it first went on the air at 1400 khz on Valentine's Day in 1979 included top 40 and oldies mixed in with country gold. Morning man Larry Heinrich, Program Director Dave Shannon, owner Benny Bee, and evening personality Jerry Mann were the main air personalities, with Jeff Bolstad doing the news. KJJR's call letters were picked because Shannon liked KJR in Seattle. Out of the original disc jockeys, he is the only air personality who is still alive as of 2023. He is retired and living in the Wolf point area. Later came syndicated talk shows hosted by Dan Bongino, Sean Hannity, Mark Levin, Michael Savage, Ben Shapiro, Joe Pags, and Bill Cunningham.

All Bee Broadcasting stations are based at 2431 Highway 2 East, Kalispell, Montana. The station was assigned the KJJR call letters by the Federal Communications Commission.[2] 880 AM is a United States clear-channel frequency on which WCBS in New York, New York, is the dominant and only Class A station.
