History

The station began broadcasting in December 1949, and originally held the call sign KNEU.[1][2] The station was owned by Mid-Utah Broadcasting.[2] In 1952, the station's call sign was changed to KEYY.[2] The station aired a MOR format in the early 1970s.[1] By the mid-1970s, the station had adopted a top 40 format.[3] By 1980, the station was airing an adult contemporary format.[4] By 1983, the station had begun airing the Music of Your Life adult standards format.[5] The station had returned to an adult contemporary format by 1985.[6] In 1986, the station was donated to Touch Outreach Ministries, and in 1987 the station began airing its current Christian format.[7][8] The station was sold to Biblical Ministries Worldwide the following year.[7]
