You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 18.207.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪ST47‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a web host's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and they should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 01:06, 24 April 2026.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

'''KBJA''' (1640 [[Hertz|kHz]]) is a [[commercial radio|commercial]] [[AM radio|AM]] [[radio station]] [[city of license|licensed]] to [[Sandy, Utah]], and serving the [[Salt Lake City metropolitan area]]. The station is owned by United Broadcasting Company.  KBJA broadcasts a [[talk radio]] [[radio format|format]].  Much of its schedule is paid [[brokered programming]] where the host buys time on the station and can sell advertising to support the show.  KBJA's programming had once been heard on [[AM 630]] [[KTKK]] "K-Talk" until that co-owned station ceased broadcasting and its programming was shifted over to [[AM 1640]].

KBJA's studios and offices are on South Redwood Road in [[South Jordan, Utah|South Jordan]].<ref>((Cite web|title=Home|url=http://www.ktalkmedia.com/|access-date=July 10, 2021|website=Ktalk Media|language=en-US))</ref>  The [[transmitter]] is off West 2590 South, near West Derby Street, in [[West Valley City, Utah|West Valley City]].<ref>((Cite web|title=KBJA-AM Radio Station Coverage Map|url=https://radio-locator.com/cgi-bin/patg?id=KBJA-AM&h=N|access-date=July 10, 2021|website=radio-locator.com))</ref>

==History==

KDZR began as the "expanded band" twin to station [[KTKK]], which broadcast on the standard AM band. On March 17, 1997 the [[Federal Communications Commission]] (FCC) announced that eighty-eight stations had been given permission to move to newly available "[[AM expanded band#United States|Expanded Band]]" transmitting frequencies, ranging from 1610 to 1700&nbsp;kHz, with KTKK, also in Sandy, authorized to move from 630&nbsp;kHz to 1640&nbsp;kHz.<ref name="five">[https://babel.hathitrust.org/cgi/pt?id=uva.x004848309&view=1up&seq=276 "FCC Public Notice: Mass Media Bureau Announces Revised AM Expanded Band Allotment Plan and Filing Window for Eligible Stations"] (FCC DA 97-537), March 17, 1997.</ref>

The FCC's initial policy was that both the original station and its expanded band counterpart could operate simultaneously for up to five years, after which owners would have to turn in one of the two licenses, depending on whether they preferred the new assignment or elected to remain on the original frequency,<ref name="five"/> although this deadline was extended multiple times.

KBJA first [[sign-on|signed on]] in 2001.<ref>[https://www.americanradiohistory.com/Archive-BC-YB/2006/Radio-NE-Ter-%20BC-YB-2006.pdf Broadcasting & Cable Yearbook 2006 page D-511]</ref>  It was owned by the United Broadcasting Company, which also owned 630 KTKK.  At first, KBJA aired [[Spanish-language]] [[talk radio|talk]] programming.  Later it added some sports programming from the [[ESPN Deportes Radio]] Network.

The station used to be run by David C. Kifuri, and other personalities from Latin America. It was a pioneer of Spanish talk in the state of [[Utah]].((Citation needed|date=June 2008))

In April 2017, management decided to shut off AM 630 KTKK and sell off the property where its towers stood. KBJA 1640 dropped its Spanish talk and sports format and began [[simulcast]]ing the English-language talk format from 630 KTKK.  On May 1, 2017, with AM 630 now permanently [[dark (broadcasting)|dark]], all programming was heard on 1640 KBJA.<ref>[https://www.facebook.com/ktalk.utah] Ktalk Facebook</ref><ref>[http://talkingutahradio.proboards.com/thread/1573/weird-on-kbja-1640] Talking Utah Radio Forums</ref>  United Broadcasting then turned in the license for KTKK 630 to the FCC for cancellation.<ref name="fcc-ktkkdefunct">((cite web|last1=Perry|first1=Richard|title=KTKK license surrender letter|url=https://licensing.fcc.gov/cgi-bin/prod/cdbs/forms/prod/getimportletter_exh.cgi?import_letter_id=79232|website=CDBS Public Access|publisher=[[Federal Communications Commission]]|access-date=September 28, 2017|format=PDF|date=September 27, 2017))</ref>
