[edit] History

1950s: 96.5 frequency signs on as KRON-FM, co-owned with KRON-TV and the San Francisco Chronicle newspaper.
1975: Chronicle Publishing Company, parent of the Chronicle, sells KRON-FM to Bonneville International which relaunches it as 'KOIT.
December 13, 1983: Bonneville Broadcasting Co. purchases KYA from KING Broadcasting, changing the call letters to KOIT with 96.5 going to KOIT-FM per FCC convention. The KYA call letters remained in service at KYA-FM (93.3, now KRZZ) and went into retirement in 1993.
