History

[edit]

88.9 FMsigned on the air on April 30, 1991, as KMBH-FM.[5] It began airing NPR programming in June of the same year. KMBH-FM has aneffective radiated power (ERP) of 3,000watts, while some of the commercial FM stations in the air run 100,000 watts, so KMBH-FM's signal was limited mainly toCameron County, Texas.

Then in July 1992, 88.1 FM signed on as KHID.[6] While KHID is also limited in power, the combination of the two stations give coverage to most areas of the McAllen-Brownsville-Harligenradio market. Both stations were owned by Rio Grande Valley Educational Broadcasting, asubsidiary of theRoman Catholic Diocese of Brownsville. The two stations begansimulcasting news and talk programming fromNPR with some hours devoted toclassical music andjazz.

On April 3, 2015, RGV Educational Broadcasting announced that it would change KMBH-FM's call letters to KJJF effective April 7. The new call sign honors RGV Educational Broadcasting founder Bishop John Joseph Fitzpatrick. It also distinguishes the radio station from formersister station Channel 38KMBH television, which was sold to R Communications several months earlier.[7]

In early 2019, the diocese announced that both stations would be bought by Immaculate Heart Media, Inc. for $1.25 million.[8] Both stations became affiliates ofRelevant Radio'sSpanish languageCatholic radio network after the purchase was finalized on May 30, 2019.
