For many years, this station carried a country music format, and would later flip to a news/talk format. Prior to the mid-1970s, the station simulcasted with its sister FM station.

On October 6, 2011 Platinum Broadcasting announced it was ceasing operations, and that the station, along with its sister stations, would be sold to Hays-based Eagle Communications, pending FCC approval.[2] The sale was approved on December 15, 2011.

After stunting with Christmas music, on December 27, 2018 KJCK flipped to classic hits, and began emphasizing their translator K300DN (107.9 FM).
