KJOK (1400 AM) is a radio station broadcasting an Oldies format. Licensed to Yuma, Arizona, USA, the station is currently owned by Monstermedia, LLC.

History

On December 14 1950, radio station KYMA began broadcasting at 1400 kilocycles on the AM dial with 250 watts of power as a Mutual/Don Lee network affiliate.[4] It was later a NBC Radio affiliate for the Imperial Valley until the early 1970's. The station changed its call sign to KVOY in January 1957, then to KIVY in 1972, then to KEZC in May 1984, and finally to KJOK in January 1997.

The KYMA call letters were revived in Yuma as a television station in 1987.

KJOK's programming includes local news and weather with Jennifer Blackwell, the Radio Factor with Bill O'Reilly, Oldies music programming, and carries live games of the Arizona Diamondbacks. AP News coverage is provided at the top of each hour.
