History
On November 17, 2011, KQMY changed their format from adult hits (as "My 99.3") to news/talk, simulcasting KIT 1280 AM.[2]
On February 17, 2012, KQMY changed their call letters to KIT-FM.
On September 18, 2015, 99.3 flipped to rhythmic oldies as "Mega 99.3" with a callsign change to KMGW.[3] KMGW was also Yakima's affiliate for Slow Jams with R. Dub, which previously aired on KFFM-107.3 (Yakima only gets the Sunday night version on KFFM-107.3 as of 2019.)
On February 1, 2019, the rhythmic oldies format was replaced by a classic hits format known as 'MegaHits,' most likely designed to compete against their Radio Yakima competitor KARY-FM.
