The History of Jones College Radio Since 1964 Jones College Radio has broadcast beautiful music in Jacksonville, FL. Jones College was founded in 1918. Jones College took over the operations of WKTZ FM in 1964. The Format was changed to Beautiful Music and Easy Listening. Jones College was the first licensee in America to have licenses for more than one FM station in the same market. We were approved to operate both 96.1 class C one hundred thousand watt FM as well as 90.9 WFAM a five thousand watt FM noncommercial license. WFAM became the number one station in the market for Jazz. The students of Jones College operated it. After 96.1 FM WKTZ was sold the new operators changed the format to something other than Beautiful Music. The new owners of then WKTZ, Kravitz, offered a gift of their newly purchased AM station as well as our old call letters 'WKTZ FM' if Jones College would take them for use on the 90.9 WFAM station and broadcast our original format of Beautiful Music. We obtained a construction license from the Federal Communications Commission to increase the power of the newly named WKTZ to fifty thousand watts. We have been offering our number one rated Beautiful Music format on this frequency ever since. |
