History

As KMMY, this station was known as "Y97, Today's Hot New Country" and aired a country music format.[3] Notable on-air personalities included disk jockey Gary Walker and weather forecaster Don Woods.

The station was assigned the KYAL-FM call letters by the Federal Communications Commission on April 3, 2006.[1] The station flipped from country music to all-sports on April 17, 2006, when the "Sports Animal" format moved from KYAL (AM) to KYAL-FM.[4] The AM station and KBIX simulcast this programming as part of the Sports Animal Network.[5] The station made the change to increase the coverage area and improve the signal as part of a drive to improve ratings.[6]
