KCJJ is 1630 AM in eastern Iowa. The station is licensed to River City Radio, Inc in Iowa City. They broadcast news and commentary, sports, and hot adult contemporary music. The station transmits with 10,000 watts in stereo.
As of 2007, Stephen Soboroff (also known as Captain Steve) is the owner and programming director and Thomas Suter is co-owner and general manager. Thomas Langenberg is the station's news director. He came to the station after 12 years in the market at KRNA. Before Soboroff purchased the station in 1994, he was co-owner of KFMH, now KBEA, in Muscatine, Iowa. Soboroff upgraded the 1000 watt KCJJ station at 1560 to its present power at 1630. The "Double-J" covers much of eastern Iowa and western Illinois. It is one of the few locally owned and operated stations in eastern Iowa. Beginning on September 24, 2007, KCJJ began broadcasting from their new studios in Coralville's Iowa River Landing. The move was made to better serve their core audience.
