KJRB is a news/talk radio station in Spokane, Washington, United States currently owned by Mapleton License of Spokane, LLC.
KJRB has had a long and colorful history showcasing many famous announcers including Randy Evans and Treasure Goodtimes (now known as Ichabod Caine and Scallops), Larry Lujack, Charlie Brown, Norm Gregory, Brian Gregory, Rick Shannon, Suds Coleman, Rick Rydell, Marie McCallister, Steve West, and Sunshine Shelly Monahan. KJRB's call letters originally reflected the fact that it had been owned by Kaye-Smith Enterprises, the owners of Top 40 KJR in Seattle. KJRB moved towards an oldies format in the 1980's, a news/talk station in the early 1990's, and sports as 790 The Fan, from 1999 until April 2008, when the sports format was moved to sister station KGA. In return, KGA's news/talk format moved to KJRB. During the station's tenure as a sports station, KJRB also broadcasted "hot talk" shows such as Don and Mike, Tom Leykis, and, until his retirement, Phil Hendrie, and features programing from Fox Sports Radio, Sporting News Radio and Westwood One.[1]

071 lyrics
So you sit there all alone
Listen to the voice on the phone
So you can get satisfaction
From a lady taped in action
071, listen and have fun x2
So you stay in your flat
And you say like it like that
You don’t need anything else
Just listen and do what she tells
071, listen and have fun x2
