- FM – 89.3 FM — KJMC, a Class C3 non-commercial FM station licensed to Des Moines, Iowa.
KJMC is a non-commercial FM station broadcasting on 89.3 MHz and licensed to Des Moines, Iowa. The station operates as a Class C3 facility and provides a core signal across the Des Moines area. KJMC underwent a major change in 2025 when American Family Association agreed to purchase the station from Minority Communications. American Family Radio programming began airing on 89.3 later that year, while the long-established KJMC call sign and frequency were retained.
Today, KJMC carries American Family Radio's Talk service rather than the urban music format previously associated with the station. The schedule mixes Christian teaching and biblical discussion with news, politics, culture, family issues and current-affairs programmes presented from a Christian worldview. Regular weekday programmes include Jenna Ellis in the Morning, Today's Issues, A Disciple's View with Todd Herman, At The Core, Exploring the Word and The Hamilton Corner, alongside nationally distributed Christian teaching programmes throughout the rest of the day.
The change marked a significant break with KJMC's earlier history in Des Moines. Under Minority Communications, the station was known for serving the area's Black community with R&B, classic hip-hop, smooth jazz, gospel and syndicated personalities. Its present role is very different: KJMC is now part of American Family Radio's nationwide network and gives the Des Moines area a local FM outlet for AFR Talk. American Family Radio is the broadcast division of American Family Association and operates a large network of non-commercial Christian stations around the United States.
