History

KVIT 90.7 FM originally went on the air on January 29, 2011 as The Goldmine 90.7 which aired a Top 40 format.[1]

In May 2012, KVIT began simulcasting on K224CJ 92.7 FM, which previously was simulcasting KNRJ. K224CJ was previously the 92.7 signal for Energy 92.7 & 101.1, which was a Dance Hits station, on air from 2002-2008, and one of 3 similarly branded stations in the country (the others being KNGY Energy 92.7 FM in San Francisco, California and WKIE/WKIF/WDEK Energy 92.7 & 5 in Chicago, Illinois) all of which are now defunct. After Energy signed off, it became apart of a Classic Hip Hop format as 92.7 & 99.3 The Beat (still simulcasting KNRJ 101.1 FM along with K257CD 99.3 FM on North Mountain).

After KVIT added the 92.7 signal, The Goldmine began to become very Dance friendly, and picked up mix shows with former Energy DJ and EVIT alumnus, DJ Perry.

On November 6, 2013, the current Dance-intensive format as Teen Pulse Radio was launched.[2]
