History

[edit]

This station signed on the air on March 29, 1992, as KGY-FM, a classic rock station co-owned with KGY (1240 AM). A format change in 1997 featured a shift to the Real Country satellite classic country network, 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".[5] On November 19, 2013, the station took its current KYYO call sign.[6]

Translators

[edit]

Until 2014, translator K237FR, on 95.3 FM in Tumwater, relayed AM station KGY in Olympia, which was sold and became KBUP.[7] Although at this point no radio stations had been assigned the "KGY" call sign, KYYO-HD2 programming adopted the slogan "Olympia's KGY 95.3".
