History

former logo

The station went on the air as KFFV on February 7, 1984 at 104.9 MHz, as Contemporary Hit Radio/Top 40 "Kiss 105". On May 29, 1984, the station changed its call sign to the current KKYS to match the station brand. In 1991, KKYS moved frequency down one channel to 104.7 to accommodate an upgrade to another facility located on 104.9 near Llano, allowing that facility to move into the Austin market.

On January 16, 1998, it switched to KOZN, and switched back to the current KKYS later on the same day. The station has been HOT AC since the late nineties.

The station was consulted by Bob Mitchell and was the number one rated station in the market for many years until it was purchased by Clear Channel.

Past air staff includes: Ryan " Rhino" O'Brien, Harold Presley, Chace Murphy, Scotty Love and Darren "Taylor" Prater and morning co hosts Barb, Jules and Dee.

The majority of the airshifts on the station are now voice tracked with a syndicated morning show.
