    History

    [edit]
    KGY/KYYO studios over Budd Inlet in Olympia

    This station signed on the air on March 29, 1992 as Classic Rock 96.9 KGY-FM, by current owner, KGY, Inc. A format change in 1997 featured a shift to Real Country, originally one of the Satellite Music Network stations, with local information and sports, and Washington State Cougars football.[2]

    On February 25, 2012, the station changed its format to country, branded as "96.9 KAYO Country", taking the old format and branding of KDDS.[3][4] It had previously been "96.9 The Sound" with "Cool Classics and Hot Hits," and before that, used the Real Country satellite classic country network.[5]

    On November 19, 2013, the station took its current KYYO call sign.[6]
