KZHT (97.1 FM, "97.1 ZHT") is a Top 40 (CHR) radio station broadcasting to the Salt Lake City, Utah area. It is owned by Clear Channel Communications as one of six radio stations in this market.

Station history

The station's format resembles that of "Kiss FM," although the 97.1 frequency did have the KISN calls and was at one point a Top 40 prior to Clear Channel acquiring the station. KZHT has been a contemporary hits station since 1997, when it evolved from a unique Rhythmic contemporary direction as "HOT 94.9," where from its debut in 1989 to 1997 it was known for blending cutting-edge Modern/Dance cuts into its Rhythmic Pop/R&B fare. In 2004 Clear Channel moved KZHT from the 94.9 signal to its current one, allowing better coverage in the Salt Lake Valley.
