Clear Channel Communications, who, a short time later, would buy KMJQ in 1995 from Noble, separating it from KYOK (then on 1590 AM). That year, KMJQ modified its format to urban adult contemporary and returned the "Majic 102 FM" branding. From then on, the station focused more on R&B and classic soul music only and targeted an older audience, while co-owned KBXX focused on younger listeners. In 2000, when Clear Channel bought out several other radio corporations (as a result of the Telecommunications Act of 1996), KMJQ and KBXX were spun off to the Washington, D.C.-based, black-owned Radio One. (Radio One changed its name to Urban One in 2018.) Also in 2000, KMJQ became the Houston affiliate of the nationally syndicated "Tom Joyner Morning Show". In 2003, the station rebranded as "Majic 102.1" to avoid frequency confusion with Beaumont, Texas Urban radio station KTCX ("Magic 102.5"), although longtime listeners still refer to the station as "Majic 102" based on heritage. For a brief period in 2008, the station carried Mo'Nique in the Afternoon through Radio One's syndicated division. In 2011, when KROI dropped its five-year urban gospel format for an all-news radio format, KMJQ added a digital subchannel to carry that previous format now known as "Praise Houston." In popular culture "Majic 102 Jams!" was featured throughout the 1994 film Jason's Lyric.
