The station was launchd to give the Coachella Valley a Jack-FM branded station as KCBS, in Los Angeles, was about 100 miles (160 km) to the west, and could not be listened to in the Coachella Valley. Three years later, in 2010, the station rebranded as 95-9 The Oasis, and adapted a Soft AC format. On August 15, 2016 KJJZ rebranded as "Kool 95.9".[1]
