KJOC is a radio station licensed to Bettendorf, Iowa, whose format is sports. The station's frequency is 93.5 MHz, and broadcasts at a power of 6 kW. The transmitter for KJOC is located on 205th Street in rural LeClaire in Scott County. ==As KBQC== The station signed on the air as KBQC-FM (call letters stood for: "Bettendorf-Quad Cities" on July 4, 1984 broadcasting live from a bandshell in Middle Park, during the "Old Fashioned 4th of July" event staged by the city of Bettendorf. For several weeks prior to going "live", the station had broadcast The Beatles "Here Comes the Sun", continuously, as a teaser to the slogan of the station, "B-93, Where it's Always 93 and Sunny." KBQC was Bettendorf's first licensed commercial radio station, and was built off an FCC construction permit issued in May 1983, after a contentious application process by several proposed owner/operators. The prevailing party was Stromquist Broadcast Services, owned by Peter Stromquist, of Edina, Minnesota. Mr. Stromquist and his first hired employee, Barry Martin, originally from Joplin, MO, and later known as "Martin in the Morning," oversaw construction from the ground up, of the transmitting facilities in LeClaire, Iowa, and of the new studios and offices on State Street in downtown Bettendorf, located adjacent to Omeara's Pub. Stromquist sold his interest in the station in 1985 and went on to become VP/GM Europe Middle East, Africa for United Press International, CEO of ABC's radio division in Asia, and Director of Mainland China operations for the broadcasting division of Paris-based Hachette media. Martin subsequently became the morning host of KVON-AM in the San Francisco bay area for nearly 20 years, and is now working in a public relations capacity for local government. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「KJOC (FM)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
