KXCS-FM is the previous call letter designation of KJXJ-FM, a radio station broadcasting at 103.9 MHz with studios in Bryan, Texas, and transmitting out of Cameron, Texas currently owned by Brazos Valley Communications, LLC. Its format is Jack FM.

[edit] 2007 Format Change

On the evening of Monday, March 19, 2007, DJs announced that the station was changing from the Rock/Alternative Rock format. The last DJs that night were Kira (on-air moniker: "The Queen of Rock") to 10 PM, and Dex Peck from 10 PM-midnight. The last songs under the old format: "I Ran (So Far Away)" by A Flock of Seagulls; "Snakes on a Plane (Bring It)" by Cobra Starship; "Joker and the Thief" by Wolfmother; "Teenage Dirtbag" by Wheatus; and "Another One Bites the Dust" by Queen, dedicated by Dex to a list of staffers.

The transition day of March 20th was a confusing and motley collection of music not conforming to a single genre. Across the course of the day, listeners heard a bizarre mixture of Rap, Classic Rock, Show Tunes, TV Theme Songs, Reggae, Easy Listening, and others. (Dex had promised a "funny" day.)

Shortly after midnight Central time on the morning of March 21st, 2007, the audio feed abruptly cut off in the middle of a long string of Irish Drinking Songs, and suddenly new programming came over the air, identifying the broadcast as a Jack FM station.

As of April 3rd, 2007, this station began identifying itself as KJXJ-FM.

[edit] Personalities

As Jack FM is a syndicated format, no live personalities broadcast although on-air "bits" are broadcast throughout the entire day between Dex and Nikki.

Dex Peck was the program director under the Rock/Alternative Rock format and remains program director as well as the primary voice of the station.

Nikki is new to the station and is primarily the weather girl, although she can be heard from time to time doing other things on-air.

[edit] Past Identities

KXCS-FM was once KHLR-FM, on the same frequency.

KXCS-FM was previously branded as:

• "1039 XCS, Everything That Rocks"
• "Aggieland's New Rock Alternative, 103.9 The X"
