History

KEYN signed on the air in 1967 as a Top 40 station, the first stereo FM station west of the Mississippi. The station was purchased by former TM partner Jim Long and country music artist Charley Pride in 1980, as Long-Pride Broadcasting.

Long-Pride Broadcasting sold KEYN and its sister station KQAM 1410 in 1987 to Aberdeen Communications. Aberdeen allowed their company to go to receivership in 1991 after changing KEYN's Top 40 format to its current Oldies music format, although now more Classic Hits. It previously used the slogan "Wichita's Fun Oldies", "The Greatest Hits of All Time" Now "Classic Hits 103.7 KEYN".

The station moved in early 2015 to the Ruffin Building at 9111 East Douglas, formerly the Pizza Hut headquarters.[1]
