Station history

KTRS was formerly on 95.5 FM. That lasted from its sign-on date in 1981, until the late 1990s. KTRS, when it was on 95.5 in the early to mid '80s, was a typical Top 40 station that played everything from Diana Ross and Kool & the Gang to Pat Benatar and Journey. In the late '90s the station moved to 104.7 FM, after being sold by Heart Media to Mountain States Broadcasting. For a short time in the late '90s, after moving to 104.7 FM, the station used the call letters KYOD. This was prior to the FCC granting a transfer of the KTRS call letters from its location at 95.5 FM. Today, KTRS is known as KISS FM and the playlist is Top 40 that ranges from Electronic Dance Music to Rap/Hip Hop and Pop Rock.

Programming

Personalities include Aaron "Tallest DJ" Traylor, DJ Nyke, Bristol, and Melissa Awesome. KTRS airs the "Back In The Day Buffet", weekdays at noon, a show that features top 40 music from the 90s, as well as early in the new decade.
