Construction permit[]

On December 15, 2009 KKCT was granted a U.S. Federal Communications Commission (FCC) construction permit to increase HAAT to 305.2 meters. The permit expired on December 15, 2012.

History[]

KKCT signed on in 1993 with a country music format as "Kat Kountry", which later became "K-Kountry". KKCT flipped to Contemporary Hit Radio (Top 40) as "Hot 97.5" in 2004, which led to competitor KYYY "Y93" switching to an adult contemporary format. Y93 changed back to Top 40/CHR in September 2012.
