The station is overseen by Roaring Fork Public Radio, Inc., a 501(c)(3) corporation. The station was founded as Roaring Fork Public Radio Translator, Inc., in 1981 by Isaiah (Sy) Coleman. From 1981 to 1987, the station served as a repeater station for Wyoming Public Radio. After being granted a full-service construction permit in 1985, KAJX became its own station on July 7, 1987;[1] the first local program was founder Coleman ordering a pizza.[2] In 2002 the FCC granted Aspen Public Radio its second license, KCJX, Carbondale.
