History

The 104.9 frequency first signed on in the late 1980s as translator K285AE that rebroadcast "K-Lite 95.7" (KLTX, now KJR-FM). The signal went dormant in the early 1990s, as that station increased their power.

The frequency came back to air in 1995 as KJUN-FM, broadcasting a country format. The call letters were changed to KKBY-FM sometime in 1998, but shortly afterwards, shifted formats to urban contemporary as "Y 104.9". This format only lasted for a very short time.
