KRSP-FM (Classic Hits 103.5 The Arrow) is an FM radio station in Salt Lake City, Utah. It broadcasts at 103.5 MHz and is owned by Bonneville International, a subsidiary of Deseret Management Corp, the for-profit arm of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.[2]
It plays classic rock music from the 60s, 70s and 80s and features blocks of artists during the weekends.
[edit] History
Brothers Art and Ralph Carlson (who operated A&R Meat Company) signed on KRSP-AM in 1966 and KRSP-FM in 1967 as vehicles to advertise their meat company. Until about 1980, KRSP-FM was a top 40 competitor to KCPX-AM and in the early 80s “Rock 103” was an album rock competitor to KCPX-FM. It wasn’t until the mid 80s, however, when the station had an established morning show (Jon and Dan) and, with virtually no rock competition, KRSP became a consistent ratings winner. When the Carlson family began selling their broadcast properties, the station passed into the hands of Simmons Media Group and in the early 1990s adopted an “All Rock and Roll Oldies” format.[3]
