History

KTYL featured an adult contemporary format from the 1980s until 1999. In 1999, KTYL switched from AC "Lite 93.1" to rhythmic oldies as "Jammin' 93.1." This format lasted until November 2001, when KTYL started playing Christmas music. At midnight December 26, 2001, KTYL switched to hot adult contemporary as "Mix 93.1." The first song on Mix 93.1 was "Jump" by Van Halen. The "Mix" name was previously carried by sister Top 40, KISX as "Mix 107.3." KISX re-launched as "Kiss 107FM" prior to the launch of the "Mix 93.1."
