History

KJJZ's previous call letters, KAJR, were the initials of its owners, Art and Jeannie Rivkin. The station is located in the Palm Desert studios of Marker Broadcasting, also the owner of KPLM, KMRJ and KRHQ.[1] KRHQ is located at 102.3, where the call letters KJJZ were originally assigned. 95.9 picked up the call letters KJJZ on March 3, 2015.

KJJZ uses the slogan "Lite and Refreshing Favorites" and concentrates on softer hits of the 1970s, 1980s and 1990s. Mitch Lewis hosts the wake-up show "Mitch in the Morning" weekdays from 6 to 10 a.m., and the station is automated the rest of the day.

On August 15, 2016 KJJZ rebranded as "Kool 95.9".[2]
