KFJZ is a daytimer station. It is powered at 1,000 watts, using a directional antenna.^[2] But 870 AM is a clear channel frequency reserved for Class A station WWL in New Orleans. To avoid interference, KFJZ must go off the air at night. Programming is heard around the clock on FM translator K273CS at 102.5 MHz.^[3]

History

The station signed on the air on December 6, 1946; 78 years ago (1946-12-06).^[4] Its original call sign was KCNC and it was powered at 250 watts, days only. It was owned by the Blue Bonnet Broadcasting Corporation with studios at 705 Main Street in Fort Worth.

The KFJZ call letters were also on a radio station in Fort Worth in that era at 1270 kilocycles (now KFLC). When it switched its call sign in 1984, that's when 970 AM requested those call letters.
