KTTI (95.1 FM) is a radio station licensed to serve Yuma, Arizona, United States and also serving El Centro, California. The station is owned by El Dorado Broadcasters LLC. It airs a country music format.[2]

History

KALJ took to the air in 1970 and changed callsigns to KTTI in 1979.[1]

Sun Country Broadcasting bought KTTI in 1983.[3]

KBLU and KTTI were owned by Robert Tezak, the owner of Uno, from 1988 to 1995.[4] That year, they were purchased by Commonwealth Broadcasting, owner of KYJT (now KQSR).[5] In a quick succession of owners, Commonwealth was acquired by Capstar in 1997,[6] Capstar merged with Chancellor Broadcasting to form AMFM in 1998,[7] and Clear Channel acquired AMFM in 1999.[8]

Clear Channel sold its Yuma stations to current owner El Dorado Broadcasters in 2007.[9]

KTTI is programmed by Program Director Misty Smith, who also serves as KTTI music director. Jeff and Misty also host "Jeff 'n Misty Mornings" weekdays from 6 to 10. The rest of the line-up includes Amy Cross on Mid-Day 10–2, Jenifer Grant in the Afternoon and the syndicated Whitney Allen at night. Kix Brooks hosts the "Kickin' it with Kix" show from 1am to 6am.

Recently, KTTI was voted Yuma's favorite radio station by readers of the Yuma Sun newspaper. This marked the 12th straight year the station was chosen as Yuma's best radio station. Jeff and Misty were voted Yuma best radio personalities for 2014.
