KJET


KJET is a commercial FM radio station licensed to Raymond, Washington, and serving Willapa Bay and Grays Harbor. The station airs a Hot Adult Contemporary radio format and is owned by Jodesha Broadcasting, Inc. Most programming on KJET is from Westwood One's Hot AC service, with some local segments. KJET uses a booster station on the same frequency to widen its broadcast area to Grays Harbor County and can also be heard on two FM translator stations.

History

In July 1999, the station first signed on the air. Its city of license was originally South Bend, Washington, and it aired a talk radio format. The original power was 3,200 watts.
Another station, 97.7 KFMY, was licensed to Raymond. That station later moved its location to Oakville, Washington, about 15 miles east, and boosted its power from 760 watts to 69,000 watts, becoming an FM simulcast for Seattle all news radio station KOMO 1000 AM. KJET switched its city of license to Raymond, to replace the station on 97.7. That was coupled with an increase in power to the current day 13,500 watt effective radiated power.
KJET switched from its Talk format to Hot Adult Contemporary in the early 2000s.

Translators

In addition to the main station, KJET is relayed by additional translators to widen its broadcast area.
