Licensed to serve Jennings, Louisiana, United States, the station was last owned by Townsquare Media.[2] The station's studios were located on North Lakeshore Drive, just northwest of downtown Lake Charles, and its transmitter was located in Jennings.
The station was also an affiliate of the New Orleans Saints radio network.[3]
Townsquare Media surrendered the license of KJEF on January 4, 2024, as the facility was nearing a full year of silence, which would have rendered the license expired as a matter of law.
