Notice some interesting things....
KJTV was actually called KJAA well into the 80s (now why isn't Fox34 promoting that in their 25th year anniversy celebration).

Also, noice K-Mac 28 wasn't always "KAMC," it actually KMCC in the 70s. Cool huh? There's other cool sh1t in there too. What do you think?
 
> KJTV was actually called KJAA well into the 80s

KJAA was the original call when the station went on the air in 1981. The KJTV call belonged to its sister station in Amarillo (channel 14) for several years, until it was sold around 1986 and became KCIT. The KJTV calls then went to the Lubbock station.

The station was a total pile of crap when it first hit the air. In fact, the old transmitter they attempted to use crapped out after only a few weeks, and the station went dark for a while while a new unit was purchased. Maybe they don't want to recall those early days.

The KMCC calls went to channel 12 in Clovis (previously KFDW) after it was purchased by the channel 28 owners. 28 then became KAMC, a call that previously belonged to the 94.9 FM in DFW. The Clovis station was later sold to KVII in Amarillo, and became KVIH.
