History

101.9 started off as a Contemporary Christian music format in 1989 as KLIQ, better known as Q-102. Its sister station was KFIA & owned by Olympic Broadcasting. In September 1991, it simulcast with KFIA except during drive times & on the weekend when it aired Christian music & call letters changed to KFIA-FM. In October 1993, the station switched to a contemporary jazz format & call letters to KSSJ. By 2000, KSSJ flipped to Oldies (as Cool 101.9 under the KCCL-FM calls) after KHYL dropped the format for Rhythmic Oldies. The call letters were changed to KNTY on July 19, 2006. "The Wolf" features Heather Lee mornings, Chad in middays, Charlee Simons in afternoons and Boomer in evenings.
