In January 1984, 1030AM first took to the airwaves as "K-Best," with music programming to serve Eastern Jackson County.  In early 1988, the station would go dark, only to return a year later as sister station to Noble Broadcasting's KBEQ.  On either side of the AM's run with the "Z-Rock" network, the station would simulcast KBEQ, first in its top 40 days, then again as the FM launched its country format.  Following stints with talk & classic country, the station separated from KBEQ and became Christian KCWJ, which it remains to this day.
