Station history
Beautiful music (1961?)
The station signed on in 1961, as KLUB-FM, airing a music format partially simulcast with KLUB-AM.[3]
Adult contemporary (1998?-2000)
The station then became KISN "Kissin 97", airing an adult contemporary.[4] This format included a mix of soft rock, pop hits, and ballads from the 1970s, 80s, and 90s.
'80s hits (2000–2003)
On November 3, 2000, the station changed to an all-80s hits format. It retained the "Kissin 97" name and airstaff. This format focused exclusively on music from the 1980s, featuring a wide array of genres.
In 2001, KISN joined at least four other Clear Channel stations in the U.S. in airing "Martha Quinn's Rewind," a program hosted by former MTV VJ Martha Quinn.[5][6]
Top 40 (2003–present)
On December 22, 2003, 97.1 became the new home of KZHT and its contemporary hit radio. This led to the station beginning to play the most popular and current songs across various genres, including pop, hip-hop, dance, and R&B. At this time, the station swapped frequencies from 94.9 to 97.1. 94.9 is now owned by Cumulus.[7]
