The BigDogz

The station's coarse comedy satirical news and variety morning show pranksters, The BigDogz (sometimes spelled Dawgz), is one of the first of their type, commonly compared to the syndicated morning show Bob and Tom and Tom Barnard's show on KQRS-FM. The BigDogz is hosted by Bill Tanner and Pat Mars, and has been on the air since 1995. The BigDogz are known mainly for satire of local and national events; mixed with a variety of characters. The BigDogz talk weekly to comedian Bob Zany and host him annually for a series of comedy shows typically held at Muddy Rivers Ballroom.

History

KJKJ first signed on in 1985 as "Rock 108" with an album-oriented rock (AOR), a predecessor to today's classic rock format, similar to that of the well-known KQRS-FM in Minneapolis, Minnesota. During the early 1990s, Rock 108 tweaked to classic rock, the descendant of the AOR format. In 1995, The BigDogz debuted as their satirical news morning show, sometimes being compared to the syndicated Bob and Tom, and has been the top-rated morning show for many years. Clear Channel Communications bought out several radio stations including KJ108 in 2000, and KJ108's format evolved into a hybrid mainstream rock/active rock format.
