History
After being issued a construction permit in May 1991 as KQUI, the station signed on the air April 1, 1992 as "Wichita's Class FM 104.5 KLLS," with a hybrid soft rock/crossover country format called "special blend." In early 1993, the branding changed to "KLLS 104.5" followed later that year by "Variety 104.5." In 1994, the station was branded "Star 104.5", and changed to an all-1970s format. In May 2000, it shifted to classic rock, branded as "104.5 The Fox." The current KFXJ calls would be adopted on May 5 of that year.
On July 30, 2014, it was announced that The E.W. Scripps Company would acquire Journal Communications in an all-stock transaction. The combined firm will retain their broadcast properties and spin off their print assets as Journal Media Group.[3] KFXJ, their sister radio stations in the Wichita area and 2 TV stations were not included in the merge; in September, Journal filed to transfer these stations to Journal/Scripps Divestiture Trust (with Kiel Media Group as trustee).[4][5]
