History

While it was still a construction permit, not yet built, the station was assigned the call letters KBHQ on July 17, 1998.[4] The station was licensed in 2001, signing on July 1.[5] In 2005, KBHQ was upgraded to a full class-C1 facility with an increase of tower height and a 100,000 watt signal. On July 20, 2005, the station changed its call sign to KWLY,[4] concurrent with a relaunch as classic country station "Willie". It became KJUL on November 4, 2005,[4] ahead of picking up adult standards format of KJUL (104.3 FM), which had switched to country music as KCYE, on November 7.
