KEMJ (101.5 FM, "101-5 The Emoji") is a radio station broadcasting a Hot Adult Contemporary format serving the St. James/Fairmont, Minnesota area. The station is currently owned by Linder Radio Group.
On April 1, 2020, the then-KRRW changed its callsign to KEMJ, while the KRRW calls and the classic country format moved to 105.9 FM, which began a simulcast with KEMJ. On April 18, 2020, KEMJ/KRRW re-branded as "Northstar Country 101.5/105.9." [1]
On May 15, 2020, KEMJ stopped simulcasting KRRW and began stunting with a loop of "Tie Me Kangaroo Down, Sport" by Rolf Harris in preparation of a new format. This is the same stunt done in the past with other Linder Radio Group stations when a format switch was made. On May 18, KEMJ launched a Hot AC format branded as "101.5 The Emoji." KEMJ will mainly compete with Alpha Media's AC-formatted KEEZ, along with KSTP-FM and KTCZ in the neighboring Twin Cities market.[2]
