History
In the 1970s, KYAK 650 AM (now KENI) was awarded a construction permit to start an FM station in Anchorage on 101.3 MHz. Before it began broadcasting, it was given the call sign KYAK-FM. The station signed on the air on September 15, 1975.[3]
Once it was broadcasting, the call sign were changed to KGOT and it aired an album-oriented rock (AOR) format. The station was largely known in the Anchorage radio market for its decades-long association with disc jockey Larry Wayne who also had a stint during this time at sister station KENI when it was a Top 40 station. Wayne became a born-again Christian during his time at the station and later hosted a contemporary Christian music show on Sundays. After leaving Anchorage, he became an air personality on national Christian music networks Air1 and K-Love.
KGOT flipped to contemporary hit radio in the 1990s. It started using the moniker "Alaska's #1 Hit Music Station" in 1996 under the program director Paul Walker. The station was No. 1 in the market for many years in the late 1990s and early 2000s. Some important talent included Scott & Stu, featured on KGOT for many years. The station still identifies as "Alaska's #1 hit music station" today.
