KMJ (580 AM, "KMJ 580") is a radio station located in the Fresno, California area. The station is owned by Peak Broadcasting.

General information

KMJ first began broadcasting in 1922. At the outset of World War II, the Department of War selected KMJ as the primary medium for alerting Central California residents. KMJ’s 50,000-watt signal can be heard clearly in portions of the San Francisco Bay Area.

For a number of years, it was the only radio station in Fresno.

In the 1950s, KMJ was owned by McClatchy Company, which also owned KFBK in Sacramento, KBEE in Modesto, KERN in Bakersfield, and KOH in Reno. McClatchy Newspapers owned three daily newspapers called "The Bee" in Fresno, Sacramento, and Modesto.

In 1953, McClatchy signed on KMJ-TV on channel 24. The television station would be sold off in 1981 to become KSEE.

As the only News/Talk radio station in Central California, KMJ targets adults aged 35-64. As of September 1, 2008 the legendary "Big 13" KYNO will go all news format.

Transmitter

KMJ uses for its AM transmissions on 580 kHz a 50 kW transmitter. It has an directional antenna consisting of 4 mast radiators situated at 36-39-37.2 N 119-20-52.8 W, 36-39-29.2 N 119-20-52.8 W, 36-39-27.9 N 119-20-48.3 W, 36-39-36.5 N 119-20-47.1 W. Each of the towers is 259.1 metres tall. They may be the tallest towers in USA used for AM broadcasting. On a clear night, strong signals can be picked up as far south as Santa Clarita and as far north as San Francisco. [1]:
