The call letters KTHI were previously used for a television station in Fargo, North Dakota which is now known as KVLY-TV.

History

The station launched in 1983 as a country station branded as "C-107" with the KCID-FM call letters. In 1997, the station flipped to an Hot AC format and rebranded as "107.1 CID" to compete with KCIX (K106) (Now Mix 106). In 1999, the station rebranded as "Star 107.1" and added music from the 1970s. In 2002, KCID-FM changed the call letters to KTHI and flipped to a classic hits format and rebranded now known as "107.1 K-Hits".

Ownership Changes

Journal Communications (KTHI's former owner) and the E. W. Scripps Company announced on July 30, 2014 that the two companies would merge to create a new broadcast company under the E.W. Scripps Company name that will own the two companies' broadcast properties, including KTHI. The transaction is slated to be completed in 2015, pending shareholder and regulatory approvals.[1]

In January 2018, Scripps announced that it would sell all of its radio stations.[2] In August 2018, Lotus Communications announced that it would acquire Scripps' Boise & Tucson clusters for $8 million.[3] The sale was completed on December 12.[4]
