This social media outlet is utilized often by KJAM Radio employees and is, therefore, the most effective social media tool.
Facebook is used to reach the Madison Area and promote events such as the Poker Run, Ladies' Day Out, Pub House Office Party, etc.
Facebook allows KJAM to cater to a specific audience, and this is why it is effective.

KJAM drives a large portion of traffic to their website AmazingMadison.com. KJAM uses the website to share news stories and obituaries, broadcast area sports, share cancellations and postponements, and advertise for businesses. The website had 10,350 views last week. To put that into perspective, Madison has a population of 7,425. The design of the website is very generic in appearance, but it is easy to navigate. The business ads are oftentimes poorly designed, but that does not seem to stop viewers from clicking on them.
KJAM also has an Instagram and Twitter account. The company's Instagram account, kjamonair, has 95 followers. The account is not updated consistently, so it is not as effective. The Twitter account, kjamradio, has 724 followers.
