As time went by, more vocals were added in an effort to appeal to younger listeners. In 1981, KSWT-FM eliminated nearly all instrumentals, becoming a soft adult contemporary station. It changed its call letters to KMAJ and rebranded as "Magic 108". In 1990, the -FM suffix was added to the station's call sign, as an AM sister station in Topeka at 1440 Hertz took the KMAJ call letters. With KMAJ-FM moving into the 2000s, the tempo of the music picked up, making the transition to mainstream adult contemporary music.
Each year, KMAJ plays Christmas music for the weeks leading into the holiday. In 2013, it flipped earlier, and was the first station in Kansas to air holiday music weeks before Christmas Day. In 2017 the station switched on November 16. In 2020, during the COVID-19 pandemic, the station flipped to all Christmas music on November 10. KMAJ begins playing Christmas Music November 15th, instead of Thanksgiving Day
Long time morning hosts John Lee Hooker & Mike Manns retired in 2018 after 32 years on-air together. Veronica Rates currently hosts the Magic 108 morning show.
