KEJB (1480 AM) is a radio station broadcasting an oldies format. Licensed to Eureka, California, United States, it serves the Eureka area. The station is owned by Bicoastal Media, though licensee Bicoastal Media Licenses II, LLC.

History

The station is the North Coast's oldest continuously operating radio station. It signed on in 1933 as KIEM. It gradually spawned the area's first television station, KIEM-TV. The radio side changed its call sign to KRED in 1961, but remained a sister station to KIEM-TV until the two stations were sold to separate owners in the 1970s.

The station's call sign from 1996 to 2023, KGOE, came from a former simulcast of KGO (810 AM), a talk radio station in San Francisco.

On February 1, 2023, KGOE changed its format from progressive talk to oldies, branded as "The Jukebox" under new KEJB call letters.^[2]
