-==History==
-The station started in 1947 as KCNC (those call letters are 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' [[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-AM]] 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.
