History

KQIV

See KQIV (defunct)

The station signed on the air on September 15, 1972 as KQIV with a progressive rock format. In 1974, KQIV switched to an urban contemporary format (as "Soul 107"). KQIV went off the air on June 18, 1976.

KMJK

On August 1, 1977, the station signed back on the air as KMJK with a soft rock format (as "Magic 107"). In 1979, KMJK changed their format to top 40 (as "The Magic FM"). In July 1981, KMJK changed their format back to soft AC (as "Magic 107"). In August 1982, KMJK changed their format again to top 40 (as "Magic 107"). On April 13, 1987, at 6 AM, KMJK changed their format to classic hits (as "Classic Hits 106.7"). On February 19, 1990, KMJK changed their format to hot adult contemporary (as "106.7 Magic FM").

KMXI

On January 25, 1991, KMJK changed their call letters to KMXI and rebranded as "Mix 106". On December 30, 1991, KMXI changed their format to oldies as "Oldies 106.7".

KKBK

On July 7, 1993, KMXI changed their call letters to KKBK and changed their format to classical (as "K-Bach").

KKJZ

On March 17, 1994, KKBK changed their call letters to KKJZ, and changed their format to smooth jazz as "Smooth Jazz 106.7".

On February 4, 2002, KKJZ changed their call letters to KLTH and changed their format to adult contemporary as "Lite Rock 106.7, K-Lite". On January 9, 2006, KLTH changed their format to 60s and 70s oldies as "K-Hits 106.7". Although most of the songs played on the station does cover the 1960s and 1970s (of which makes up a majority of its library), they also expanded its scope to cover the 1980s as well, given its competition being Adult Hits KYCH, which was the previous outlet for the Oldies format prior to KLTH's debut. Specialty programs on KLTH include "Saturday Night Fever", a weekly classic Disco shows and Casey Kasem's "American Top 40: The 70s" on Sunday mornings.

KLTH was sold to Clear Channel Communications along with KXJM on April 1, 2009 from CBS Radio. KLTH co-existed with sister classic hits KQOL, who Clear Channel had operated prior to the transaction. Both stations co-existed until May 6, 2009, when Clear Channel switched KQOL to Classic Rock, moving many of the KQOL listeners over to its KLTH, saying "Welcome 105.9 listeners."

Shortly after the move, on August 17, 2009, the name was changed to "Oldies 106.7" with a logo identical to CBS Radio's WODS in Boston, but since 2010, it has been replaced by a more fresher logo. In the May 2011 Arbitron PPMs, KLTH became the number one station in the Portland area radio rankings, overtaking sister station KKCW.^[1]

KLTH-HD2

On June 4, 2010, KLTH-HD2 signed on with a 50s-60s oldies format branded as "Real Oldies".
