[edit] History

KRSX-FM 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 "The High Desert's Modern Rock 97.7 & 105.3".

In 1998, KAVS/KYHT along with sister station KAVL (AM) 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.

After the Clear Channel Communications/Jacor Communications merger, KYHT's operations became apart of the Victorville cluster which began airing local IDs as "105.3 KIISFM", discontinued replaying KAVS's local programming, and began airing local modern rock music programming during the weekends.

In 2001, began to simulcast KZXY airing a hot adult contemporary music format full time. The building where 105.3 KIISFM's local studio in Barstow resided became a shoe factory.

In 2002, KYHT changed the call letters to KJAT, and began simulcasting 100.7 KATJ airing a country music format branded as "Cat Country".

In 2004, KJAT adopted the current call letters, KRSX-FM, airing an oldies music format syndicated by Jones Radio Network with the branding, "Cruisin' Oldies".
