History

The radio towers for KLO 1430, near Layton, Utah.

KLO originally signed on in 1924, making it one of Utah's oldest radio stations. Its first call letters were KFUR but the current call sign was chosen in the 1930s in honor of Mt. Lomond located near Ogden. KLO was the flagship station of the Interstate Broadcasting Corporation, later the Intermountain Network.^[2]

In 2012, Capital Broadcasting purchased KJQN (today KSQN) from the Simmons Media Group for $1.5 million and began to simulcast KLO's programming on 103.1 FM. The purchase was approved by the Federal Communications Commission in July and KJQN promptly changed its call letters to KLO-FM.^[3] On Monday June 9, 2014, 103.1 FM switched to Adult contemporary music as "Sunny 103", and KLO's programming is once again available only on the AM dial. ^[4]
