KJLS explained

KJLS is a radio station airing a Hot AC format licensed to Hays, Kansas, United States, broadcasting on 103.3 MHz FM. The station is owned by Eagle Communications, Inc.^[1]

In 1974, when FM radio was relatively new, Kansas radio entrepreneur and personality Larry Steckline established KJLS (whose call sign ends in Steckline's initials) as a country-western music station. According to Steckline, it was the first FM station to survive west of U.S. Highway 81 (the north-south highway in the center of the nation).^{[2] [3] [4]}
