KMJQ, "Majic 102.1" is a Houston radio station with a Urban Adult Contemporary musical format. It is owned by Radio One.
KMJQ began broadcasting in 1978 as Houston's first Urban radio station on the FM dial. It began as "Majic 102" and in the early '90s was known as 102 Jamz. In 1991, KBXX went on the air with Hip Hop and R&B in the playlists. When KBXX and KMJQ became co-owned in 1994, KMJQ modified its format to Urban Adult Contemporary and changed its branding to Majic 102, The Majic Is Back!, playing mostly R&B Hits and Oldies. In 2003, the name was modified adding "point 1" to the moniker, thus Majic 102.1 to avoid frequency confusion with Beaumont, Texas Urban radio station KTCX "Magic 102.5".
Today, KMJQ is home to the nationally syndicated Tom Joyner Morning Show.
