History

For many years, 92.5 FM was branded simply as "Y-92 FM, The Adult Choice" (with the call letters KGBY). The station was owned by AM-FM broadcasting from 1994–2000, and became part of the Clear Channel family after AM-FM and Clear Channel merged. In 2000, the station briefly added a heavy number of country-based current hits, including songs by Billy Gillman, Lee Ann Womack, Lonestar, and Faith Hill. In 2001, the station re-branded itself as "Y-92.5, Today's Hits & Yesterday's Favorites" (resurrecting the slogan from 1988 when Group W originated the slogan after dumping the KAER call letters.) The station began using the "Best Mix in Denver" (KIMN) jingle package (created by the legendary JAM Creative Productions, in Dallas, TX), including the famous "Y-92.5 KGBY, Sacramento" top-of-the-hour jingle.
