Radio station
The Mena School District operates KJBS-LP (101.1 FM), a low powered radio station licensed to serve Mena, Arkansas. It airs a Variety format.[4]
KJBS was formerly KRMN-LP and was assigned in 2002, and owned by Rich Mountain Community College. It was transferred to the Mena School District in 2008, and changed its call letters to KJBS in 2017.[5] [6] The college made this move as they had an application for a full-power station before the Commission and, per FCC rules, a licensee of a low-power station cannot also be the licensee of a full-power station.[7]
