KKLV

KKLV (107.5 FM, "K-Love") is an American Contemporary Christian music formatted radio station broadcasting to the Salt Lake City metropolitan area. The station is licensed to serve the community of Kaysville, Utah, and is currently owned by the Educational Media Foundation. It was previously owned and operated by Wasatch Radio, LLC as trustee which Citadel Broadcasting divested, four months after picking up KHTB in the Salt Lake City cluster.

History

KKLV has had quite a history since signing on in 1978 as KABE on 107.1 in Orem, Utah. It ran what we would call an adult hits format until 1983 when the station was moved to 107.5 and ran a stylized pop format as KUUT from 1983 until 1984. From 1984 to 1992, the station was known as KMGR. It was then known as KMXB from 1992 to 1996, before becoming KENZ.

107.5 The End

From January 1996 to 2005, the station was known as KENZ. It used its dial position to become known as "107.5 The End". The End carried an Adult Album Alternative format, similar to the later incarnation of KENZ lower on the dial on 101.9. KENZ moved down the dial to provide a better signal area. Since KKAT is broadcasting from Lake Mountain, the station has difficulties covering the northern end of the Wasatch Front. The station does have a booster in Bountiful to increase signal coverage due to a terrain shadow.
