KNMJ (100.9 FM) is a radio station licensed to serve Eunice, New Mexico, USA. The station, established in 1995, is currently owned by New Mexico Junior College Foundation.

History

This station received its original construction permit from the Federal Communications Commission on December 29, 1992.[2] The new station was assigned the KNJT call sign by the FCC on February 26, 1993.[1] That initial call sign was changed to KYRK on April 16, 1993.[1] KYRK received its license to cover from the FCC on July 27, 1995.[3]

In December 1998, license holder Mark C. Nolte announced an agreement to transfer this station to Fivestar Enterprises L.C. The deal was approved by the FCC on February 8, 1999, and the transaction was consummated on February 24, 1999.[4] The new owners had the FCC change the station's call sign to KEJL on March 15, 1999.[1]

On November 22, 2013, Fivestar Enterprises assigned KEJL's license to related licensee Fivestar Media Corporation.

On September 1, 2014, the station swapped call signs with AM 1110 KPER. On September 29, 2014, 100.9 went silent as the Shared Services Agreement between Noalmark and Fivestar Enterprises came to an end. Fivestar donated the station's license to New Mexico Junior College Foundation effective June 23, 2015. The station's call sign was changed to the current KNMJ on August 31, 2015.

The Station General Manager is Susan Fine.
