History
KRCM originated in Beaumont, Texas as KPBX in 1947.[http://transition.fcc.gov/fcc-bin/amq?list=0&facid=14228 KRCM] fcc.gov. Accessed December 13, 2013
During the 1950s and 1960s, KRCM was known as KJET, a blues and R&B station. It was the only black station in Beaumont. Johnny Winter said that he "spent hours each day listening to KJET" and it heavily influenced his music styles.[https://online.wsj.com/articles/blues-guitarist-johnny-winter-70-passes-away-1405637240] Wall Street Journal, "A True Bluesman". Accessed July 13, 2014 KJET (known on as air "K-Jet") continued through the 1980s, even as it faced competition from both FM operators and KALO, which had dropped country during the decade to become the Triangle's second Black targeted station as "Kay-Lo".
The facility relocated to a site east of Tamina Road in Shenandoah, TX in 2007.[http://www.radiodiscussions.com/showthread.php?495363-Recent-FCC-Filings-KETX-KSET-KBRZ-KRCM] radiodiscussion.com. Accessed July 13, 2014
As of 18 January 2017, KRCM has received the grant officially increasing the daytime power level from 2.8 to 22 kilowatts, while the night power has decreased to 50 watts, down from 60.[http://fccdata.org/?facid=&call=KRCM&ccode=1&city=&state=&country=US&arn=&party=&party_type=LICEN] fccdata.org.
