Owned by iHeartMedia, Inc., KYSR is the Los Angeles affiliate for Sixx Sense with Nikki Sixx and the home of morning drive program The Woody Show. The KYSR studios are located in Burbank, while the station transmitter resides in Beverly Hills.

KYSR also extends its signal by using a single full-power repeater: KSRY (103.1 FM) in Tehachapi.
On May 27, 1948, the Metro-Goldwyn-Meyer motion picture studio put KMGM on the air at 98.7 FM. KMGM went off the air in 1953. On June 30, 1954, after purchasing the KMGM studio and transmitter, Art and Jean Crawford, owners of Crawford's of Beverly Hills Record & Hi-Fi Store, launched a new station at 98.7 FM with the call letters KCBH.
In October 1970, the station became KJOI "K-Joy." The station would air a beautiful music format until 1989. KJOI then began playing fewer instrumentals and adding more vocalists to the playlist. The traditional middle-of-the-road vocalists were replaced with more adult contemporary artists. The instrumentals were dropped altogether in 1990. The station became known as "Touch 98.7", placing itself between smooth jazz KTWV and adult contemporary KOST. The format was now soft adult contemporary. On February 12, 1990, the call letters were changed to KXEZ, "Easy Oldies."
