About

The Triple FM Radio Group was first conceived in November 1993 when a group of broadcasters, including local radio veteran Trey Stafford, teamed up to purchase KDXY. In March 1994 they bought a second station, KDEZ (now KEGI).  In September 1997 the group added KJBX to form the “Triple FM Radio Group”. In December 2008, the HD Radio (digital) upgrade of KDXY provided the technology leading to creation of a fourth FM signal for the group, Hot 107.5, the analog rebroadcast of the new digital KDXY-HD2. In November 2009, another HD Radio channel was added to KDXY. KDXY-HD3 was the fifth signal, broadcasting ESPN Jonesboro on the KDXY-HD3 channel as well as 92.7FM. The sixth signal was added in February 2014. KJBX-HD2 is broadcasting Outlaw 98.5 on the KJBX-HD2 channel as well as 98.5FM.

Jonesboro Radio Group features now six FM towers, all in Craighead County, with studios in the historic 1905 Max Meyer building at 314 Union in Downtown Jonesboro.

The three original Jonesboro Radio Group stations target 18–54-year-old adults with the top three formats: Country, Adult Contemporary and Classic Rock. Hot 107.5, targets 18–34-year-old adults with our new “Tough 40” rhythmic format. EZ 92.7, targets people 35-64 with its blend of light rock from the 70s, 80s and 90s. 98.5 The Outlaw targets adults 35-64 with its classic country format. Jonesboro Radio Group advertisers enjoy, by far, the largest radio listening audience in the Jonesboro market.

The Jonesboro Radio Group team is a veteran broadcast team.  President/General Manager Trey Stafford, 1984. KDXY Morning Co-Host Jim Frigo, 1997.  General Sales Manager, Station Manager, KDXY Midday Host Christie Matthews, 1997 and Senior Account Executive Tim Smith, 2011. These are all Jonesboro Radio Group team members who have planted their careers, and their lives, here. There are many others with longer-than-industry-norm tenures, getting longer every day, and Jonesboro Radio group is better for it.
