==History==
The station started in {{start date and age|1947|p=y}} as KCNC (that callsign is now used by the [[KCNC|CBS operated-and-owned TV station]] in Denver, Colorado). The station changed its call letters to KJIM in 1957, airing a [[beautiful music]] format inspired by Dallas's [[KGGR|KIXL-AM]]-[[KKDA-FM|FM]], which evolved into an [[middle of the road (music)|MOR]] format in the early 1970s. In 1975 KJIM adopted a country music format.

In 1984, the station dropped the KJIM call letters and the country music format and began using the call letters KFJZ with a Standards music format. The call letters KFJZ had been used in Fort Worth for 40 years on the frequency of [[KFLC|1270]] AM.

In 1986, [[KAAM (AM)|KAAM]] has picked up their previous format so that KFJZ could switch to [[Spanish language|Spanish]] music and was branded ''Super Tejano 870''. Two years later, AM 870 switched to a Catholic-religion format under the Spanish language. KFJZ filed for bankruptcy in 1994, but still remains on the air, only during daytime hours because it shares the same frequency as [[clear-channel]] station [[WWL (AM)|WWL]] in [[New Orleans, Louisiana]].

In the Summer of 2008, Garden City Broadcasting sold this station to SIGA Broadcasting.

In year 2009, it changed formats and branding to Radio Salam Namaste (Indian Community Radio).

In the beginning of October 2016, KFJZ flipped formats to Financial News/Talk programming via the Biz Talk Radio network.
