History

[edit]

107.5 KKJJ came on the air in 1996 with a hot adult contemporary format. When the station was acquired by Clear Channel, it became Top 40, KIFS in 2000, as “Kiss 107 FM” with Rick Dees in the Morning.

On December 18, 2023, at Midnight, KIFS abruptly dropped the Top 40 format and shifted to a rhythmic oldies format (deemed by the station as "rhythmic gold") focused on classic pop hits from the 1980s through the 2000s, branded as "107.5 The Beat".^[4]
