The station signed on in the 1950s as KPAC-FM. The station changed its call sign to KHYS in 1977 with an album rock format. Around the mid 80s the format changed to Urban Adult Contemporary as "Y98.5, The Best Variety Of Hits and Dusties." Around 1989 the format became Urban Contemporary "Kiss 98.5" going head to head with KMJQ "Majic 102".
When "Yo 1590 Raps!" came about on KYOK 1590 AM in response to KYOKs flip from Gospel to Rap, (February 1991) the format changed back to "Y98.5 Is Back, playing the best variety of Hits and Dusties." In 1993 KJOJ and KYOK began simulcasting "Y98.5". KJOJ-FM has been simulcasting since. The station would play Smooth Jazz on Sundays.

(1995–1997) Smooth Jazz ran all day on KHYS and KJOJ-FM known as "Smooth FM 98.5 and 103.3".
In February 1997 the format changed to Dance "Kiss 98-5, Kiss Again 103-3" targeting the Hispanic teenage market playing heavy doses of Freestyle and House music. In June 1998 the "Kiss 98-5, Kiss Again 103-3" format was tweaked again to rival "104 KRBE" playing Rock/Pop based Top 40.
