KJQY (defunct Radio Station) - The First K-Joy On 103.7

The First K-Joy On 103.7

The original KJQY was a beautiful music station that was owned by Westinghouse/Group W on 103.7. Sometime in the early 1990s, Group W sold 103.7. The revolving sets of new owners continuously updated the format, first to New Adult Contemporary/Light Jazz, and then eventually to Adult Contemporary. At some point, 103.7 ended up being owned by SFX, the same people who owned cross-town competitor KYXY 96.5 (which had better ratings). SFX promptly changed KJQY's format to Adult Rock, first changing the calls to KMKX and the name to "Rock Mix 103.7", and later to "Classic Hits 103.7 The Planet" and the call letters to KPLN, which is pretty much what it was until Howard Stern left CBS (including 103.7). CBS (the owners at that time and as of this writing) changed 103.7's call letters to KSCF, first as FM talk radio Free FM, and in 2007 to Hot Adult Contemporary Sophie (which is what it is at the time of this writing).
