History

Logo used until January 6, 2015, under the "Magic" branding.

On August 1, 2013, a Federal Communications Commission agent attempted to inspect the studios of KOMJ.[5] The address listed on filings with the FCC, 10714 Mockingbird Drive, was in fact the address for the Journal Broadcast Group studios.[5] KOMJ owner, Cochise Radio Partners, did not have staff or equipment at that location.[5] Journal Broadcast Group had sold the station to Cochise Radio Partners in 2007.[5] Less than a year later, in March 2014, the FCC fined Cochise Broadcasting, LLC $17,000 for "failing to operate and staff a main studio with a public inspection file".[6]

On October 17, 2014, Cochise Radio Partners announced they were selling KOMJ to Walnut Radio, LLC for $450,000.[7][8] The sale between Cochise and Walnut closed on January 2, 2015.[9] Five days later, the station dropped the Middle of the road music from its format for Adult Standards, Classic Hits, and Oldies.[10] The new format is branded "Boomer 1490".[10]

In addition to the main station, KOMJ is relayed by an FM translator to widen its broadcast area.[11][12]
