KYSS-FM came to air May 11, 1969.[2] It was owned by the Garden City Broadcasting Corporation alongside KYSS (930 AM, now KMPT) and broadcast a beautiful music format on 100.1MHz. In 1973, the FCC approved a major power increase for KYSS to 100,000 watts at 94.9 FM. The format changed to country, which it currently airs today.
In October 2007, a deal was reached for KYSS to be acquired by GAP Broadcasting II LLC (Samuel Weller, president) from Clear Channel Communications as part of a 57 station deal with a total reported sale price of $74.78 million.[3] What eventually became GapWest Broadcasting was folded into Townsquare Media on August 13, 2010.[4]
