KDJQ was the original call sign of Pueblo’s 97.9 MHz FM facility, which began broadcasting in 1975. The station used automated Top 40 programming before adopting KCSJ-FM in 1978 and KCCY in 1979.
History
The station’s call-sign sequence reflects its development into a country music outlet. KDJQ changed to KCSJ-FM in October 1978. In January 1979 it adopted the KCCY call sign and developed the KCCY country identity that later became well known in the Pueblo market. This record documents the facility’s first on-air name.
