Program Directors during the station's heyday included Larry "Lucky Lawrence" Wright and Al McCoy, who went on to become the long-time play-by-play voice of the NBA Phoenix Suns.
Some of the station's all time ratings getters were the personalities of the 1960s, known as the "KRUX Good Guys": Lucky Lawrence, "Bobby-Poo" Bob Shannon (later heard on WCBS-FM, "Your Boy" Al McCoy, Charles L. "Kit" Carson, Norm Seeley, Dick Gray, Dennis Wilkerson, "Mighty" Ed Mitchell and Don Daro overnights.
For a brief period in the mid-1970s, KRUX experimented with an all-news format featuring NBC's short-lived "News and Information Service" (NIS Network).
When that experiment failed, the station went back to an Adult Top 40 format, with Richard Ruiz of Downey, California, as program director.
Those radio personalities included "KC in the Morning" Kennedy from 5 AM to 10AM, Daniel (Oshe) from 10AM to 3 PM, Program Director Bobby Rivers 3PM to 7PM.
Then in 1992, KRUX tried another attempt at all-news radio, featuring the CNN Headline News audio feed.
In April 1999, AM/FM Broadcasting purchased the call letters, studio, and programming of KGME, moving them to 550 kHz.
New Planet Radio kept the 1360 transmitter, changing the call letters to KFDJ, and began simulcasting co-owned KEDJ 106.3 until the AM station was sold to Salem.
