KEYJ-FM (107.9 MHz) is a commercial radio station located in Abilene, Texas. KEYJ-FM currently airs a mainstream rock format branded as "Rock 108", successfully blending "the best of the old and the new." The "Rock 108" branding came about around early 1989 as "The Home of Rock n Roll". This brought about a classic/current AOR format from its previous "Pop40" branded "Key-J 108". The station owners in the 1980s and 1990s were Lloyd Mynat (who played professional football at one time) and Dave Boyal. The station is currently owned and operated by Townsquare Media.
