History

WRMN-FM

The station began broadcasting in September 1960 and held the call sign WRMN-FM, simulcasting AM 1410 WRMN.[1][2] The station was located in Elgin, Illinois and had an ERP of 1,000 watts at a HAAT of 130 feet.[1] By 1965, the station had begun airing programming independent of AM 1410.[4] In 1965, the station's ERP was increased to 3,000 watts and its HAAT was decreased to 115 feet.[2] In 1972, the station's HAAT was increased to 210 feet and its ERP was reduced to 2,500 watts.[2]

Progressive rock era

In 1972, the station adopted the call letters WJKL, which was based on the name of the station manager at the time, Richard Jakle.[2][5] In the 1974, WJKL adopted a progressive rock format, and was branded "The Fox".[6][7][8] In 1975, the station's ERP was increased to 3,000 watts.[2] In July 1980, the station dropped all local talent becoming fully automated, airing an album-oriented rock format.[6] Live personalities were brought back in April 1981.[6]

Big band era

In September 1982, the station adopted a big band/adult standards format, with the branding "JKL 94" "Great Music".[6][9][10][11] The station featured music from the 1930s, 1940s, 1950s, and 1960s.[12] When Radio Was, hosted by Carl Amari, aired nightly on the station.[10][13] In 1984, the station's HAAT was increased to 328 feet.[14][15]

Adult contemporary era

In May 1990, WJKL adopted an adult contemporary format and revived "The Fox" branding.[16][17][18] The station carried programming from the Satellite Music Network, along with local programs such as the Radio Shopping Show.[5][19] In 1990, the station's ERP was increased to 6,000 watts.[20][21] In 1998, the station added brokered programming at night.[22]

One on One Sports

On March 1, 1999, became a brokered affiliate of One on One Sports (later called Sporting News Radio), airing One on One Sports programming from 6 a.m. to 4 p.m.[23][24] One on One Sports moved to the station from AM 950 WIDB.[23][24]

K-Love

On March 1, 2001, Sporting News Radio moved to AM 820 WYPA, and the station began to sell its airtime to Educational Media Foundation which broadcast its K-LOVE Christian adult contemporary format.[25][26] In 2007, Elgin Broadcasting Company sold WJKL to Educational Media Foundation for $17 million.[27][28]

After purchasing the station in 2007, Educational Media Foundation changed WJKL's city of license from Elgin to Glendale Heights.[29] In 2010, the station's transmitter was moved from Elgin to the Oakbrook Terrace Tower in Oakbrook Terrace, Illinois, moving to a higher location closer to Chicago, while reducing its power to 3,500 watts ERP.[30][31]

Air1

On March 10, 2018, K-LOVE moved to 97.9 in Chicago WLUP-FM (now WCKL-FM).[32] In summer of 2018, WJKL became an affiliate of Educational Media Foundation's Christian CHR network Air1.[33]
