The station first existed as KCRM from June 1, 1982 to December 27, 1993, before changing its call sign to KHLR. On April 9, 2001, the station's call sign became KXCS, which it kept until receiving the call sign of KJXJ on March 29, 2007.[2]
KXCS
KXCS used the slogans "103.9 XCS, Everything That Rocks" and "Aggieland's New Rock Alternative, 103.9 The X", and once carried the Lex and Terry and Loveline programs.[citation needed]
The transition day of March 20 was a confusing and motley collection of music not conforming to a single genre. Across the course of the day, listeners heard a bizarre mixture of rap, classic rock, show tunes, TV theme songs, reggae, easy listening, and others.[citation needed] Shortly after midnight, the audio feed abruptly cut off in the middle of a long string of Irish Drinking Songs, and suddenly new programming came over the air, identifying the broadcast as a Jack FM station.[citation needed] On April 3, 2007, this station began identifying itself as KJXJ.
Return to rock
logo used under previous format
On September 20, 2010, KJXJ abandoned the Jack format and became "Rock 103.9."[3]
ESPN Aggieland
On March 2, 2015, KJXJ changed their format from rock to sports, branded as "ESPN Aggieland".[4]
103.9 The Wolf
On October 17, 2016, KJXJ changed their format from sports to classic rock, branded as "103.9 The Wolf".[5]
Sale to Educational Media Foundation
On March 29, 2018, it was announced that Educational Media Foundation would purchase KJXJ from Brazos Valley Communications for $325,000. On April 6, a modification was filed with the FCC which changed the facility from commercial to non-commercial status, as required by law, given EMF's status as a non-commercial operator. The purchase closed on June 26, 2018, at which point EMF changed the station's call sign to KVLX, as "103-9 The Wolf" transitioned to Bryan-College Station's full powered "K-Love" affiliate.
