Lotus Communications will flip Classic Rock “J105” 105.1 KJOT Boise ID to Variety Hits “105.1 Jack-FM” on Monday, March 15.
KJOT ranked seventeenth in the Boise market with a 2.2 share in the Fall 2020 Nielsen Audio ratings. The flip will place it in direct format competition with Iliad Media Group’s “96.1 Bob-FM” KSRV Ontario, which currently ranks fourth in the market with a 4.7 share. The move also creates some breathing room for Lotus clustermates in Rock “100.3 The X” KQXR and AAA “94.9 The River” KRVB.
KJOT was known as “J105” from 1985 until 2010 when it broadened its playlist to include music from the 1970s through 2000s as “Variety Rock 105.1“. The station then streamlined its music back to a typical 70s-90s Classic Rock mix in 2014 as “Rock 105.1” but retained its jockless presentation. It would then return to the “J105” brand and re-add personalities in March 2017.
