KJR-FM is a replication of KJR (AM) when it was a rock/top-40 station from 1958 to 1982. The AM station is now a sports station, which started in 1991.
This station signed on the air on May 25, 1960 and was owned until 1963 by Rogan Jones, founder of the radio automation firm IGM. It had a beautiful music format under the callsign KGMJ. It was sold to the owners of KIXI (880 AM) who kept the beautiful music format as a simulcast of the AM station, as well as changing call letters to KIXI-FM on October 19, 1978.
In 1980, the simulcasting ended. The AM side adopted an oldies format while the FM side programmed an adult contemporary format that emphasized on instrumentals and easy listening music as "KIXI Light". The station was sold in 1986 to the Ackerley Group (owners of KJR), and changed call letters and monikers to KLTX "95.7 K-Lite", on April 28, 1986, while retaining the adult contemporary format. The station had a series of translators located in and around Seattle from the late 1980s through early 1990s. These included K292AL Everett (106.3 FM), K285AE Olympia (104.9 FM, now KUBE), K277AB Edmonds (103.3 FM), and K277AA Seattle (also located at 103.3 FM). The station was known for having a wide and diverse playlist, a rarity for an AC station.
