KZHT (97.1 FM) is a Top 40 (CHR) formatted radio station, broadcasting to the Salt Lake City metropolitan area. It is owned by iHeartMedia as one of six radio stations in this market. The station's studios are located in West Valley City, and its transmitter site is located southwest of the city on Farnsworth Peak in the Oquirrh Mountains.
The station signed on in 1961 as KLUB-FM, airing a beautiful music format partially simulcast with KLUB-AM.[3]
The station then became KISN "Kissin 97", airing an adult contemporary format.[4] This format included a mix of soft rock, pop hits, and ballads from the 1970s, 80s, and 90s.
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]
On December 22, 2003, 97.1 became the new home of KZHT and its Top 40 format. 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]
