“When KMJ went on the air, people didn’t have radios,” jokes Broeske in the teaser trailer for “KMJ: 100 Years in the Valley.”

KMJ hit the airwaves with just 50 watts of power on March 23, 1922. Eventually, with the threat of World War II looming, the FCC allowed KMJ to boost its power to a whopping 50,000 watts.

“KMJ: 100 Years in the Valley” was written and directed by Emmy Award-winning filmmaker Jeff Aiello. KMJ Program Director Blake Taylor served as a producer.
