History

The Cedar Rapids allocation for 1360 AM signed on in 1961, alongside its FM sister station at 98.1 FM, both taking on the call letters KHAK. Both stations formatted country music—although not exclusively until sometime later in the 1960s—and for many years, the AM signal was duplicated on the FM frequency.

On March 6, 1995, KHAK changed its format to contemporary Christian as KTOF, and was a simulcast of KWOF in Hiawatha.{{cite news |work=Cedar Rapids Gazette |title=Radio fans must learn new numbers |date=2002-01-04 |first=John |last=Kenyon |quote=KTOF-AM (1360), which until Dec. 19 aired religious programming, is now KMJM-AM, playing what owner Clear Channel refers to as "American music classics," primarily popular music of the '30s and '40s. The religious programming that aired on KTOF was provided by KWOF-AM (850) out of Hiawatha.}} On December 19, 2001, the station switched call signs to the current KMJM{{cite web |work=FCC Media Bureau CDBS Public Access Database |url=http://fjallfoss.fcc.gov/cgi-bin/ws.exe/prod/cdbs/pubacc/prod/call_hist.pl?Facility_id=54164&Callsign=KMJM |title=Call Sign History}} and began airing a nostalgia format of "American music classics" from the 1930s and 1940s. KMJM would later flip to sports talk as "1360 The Fan".

On January 11, 2010, KMJM changed its format to classic country.

On October 10, 2017, KMJM flipped to adult standards, branded as "Leo 1360".[https://radioinsight.com/headlines/120327/iheart-commemorates-cedar-rapids-icon-leo-1360/ iHeart Commemorates Cedar Rapids Icon with Leo 1360] The station had been airing one adult standards-nostalgia based program in the past, "Jim Doyne's Musical Memories", airing at noon Sundays, prior to the format switch.

Every year during the first week of November, KMJM drops its regular format and plays Christmas music.

On May 4, 2020, at midnight, KMJM changed their format to oldies, while retaining the "Leo 1360" moniker.[http://www.northpine.com/blog/2020/05/05/cedar-rapids-station-flips-to-oldies/ Cedar Rapids Station Flips to Oldies]
