History

KRJW was granted their FCC license on February 6, 2014 and hit the air soon afterward as a way to fill the void left when rival station KLAD-AM acquired the full-time broadcast affiliation rights of ESPN Radio in 2014. Sister station KFLS-AM had been an affiliate of ESPN Radio on a part-time basis for a number of years before KLAD-AM acquired the full-time rights. KRJW immediately became an affiliate of CBS Sports Radio and the new full-time home of Jim Rome, who had previous been featured on its previous station.

The station would soon begin airing Portland Trail Blazers NBA basketball and University of Oregon Ducks football and basketball shortly after signing on the air and moving over from KFLS-AM. In 2016, the station became the new home station for Mazama High School Vikings sports with Randy Adams on the call.
