History

KYXY first signed on in 1960. It was an independent FM station, carrying a middle of the road music format, which was described as "Good Music."[2] The station has kept the same KYXY call letters throughout its history, which are pronounced like "Kicksy." From the 1980s to the early 2000s, KYXY aired a soft adult contemporary format. But over the next decade, like many Soft AC stations concerned about attracting younger listeners, KYXY began moving toward a more uptempo format.
