Station history

logo, 2003-2015

The station's format resembles that of "Kiss FM," although the 97.1 frequency did have the KISN calls and was at one point a Top 40 prior to iHeartMedia (then known as Clear Channel Communications) acquiring the station. KZHT has been a Contemporary Hit Radio format since 1997, when it evolved from a unique Rhythmic contemporary direction as "HOT 94.9," where from its debut in 1989 to 1997 it was known for blending cutting-edge Modern/Dance cuts into its Rhythmic Pop/R&B fare. In 2004 Clear Channel moved KZHT from the 94.9 signal to its current one, allowing better coverage in the Salt Lake Valley.

As KISN, it aired, for a time, an All-80s Hits format, which began on November 3, 2000.^[2]

KZHT would move to the 97.1 frequency, displacing KISN, on December 22, 2003.^[3]
