KRSX-FM

KVGH (105.1 FM) is a commercial radio station in North Shore, California, broadcasting to the Palm Springs area. It airs a classic hits format branded as "Valley 105.1".

History

The station signed on in 1997 with the call letters KYHT. KYHT was a simulcast of KAVS in Mojave, California airing a Top 40 music format branded as "Hot 97".

When KAVS dropped the Top 40 music format in favor of a modern rock music format, KYHT remained in the simulcast rebranded as High Desert Modern Rock 97.7 & 105.3.

In 1998, KAVS/KYHT along with sister station KAVL were purchased by Jacor Communications (now Clear Channel Communications) leading to a return to Top 40 as a repeater of KIIS-FM in Los Angeles, California, rebranded as 97.7 & 105.3 KIISFM, with local programming hosted by Chester The Arrester and many live broadcasts on location. KYHT went off the air in early 1999 due to a windstorm that caused the transmitter building to buckle and become airborne, the station was restored 3 days later.

The grouping of 102.7 FM KIIS in Los Angeles, 1220 AM KIIS in Santa Clarita, 97.7 FM KAVS in the Antelope Valley, 105.3 FM KYHT in Barstow/Victor Valley, and 101.9 FM KFMS in Las Vegas created a nearly continuous coverage of KIISFM between Los Angeles and Las Vegas. However, 101.9 in Las Vegas was branded as KISS instead of KIIS.
