History

The station was assigned the call letters KFIS 1981-02-23. On 2001-09-01, the station changed its call sign to KFIF and on 2004-08-03 to the current KITT.

In June of 2008, The FCC granted KITT-FM permission to upgrade from a Class A station to a Class C2 station, increase its power to 11,000 watts, and relocate the station to Wilson, WY. (serving Jackson Hole). The move was part of a complex move of 42 stations in a five state area. Following this move, the FCC changed its rules to allow no more than four stations in a single change. At this time, KITT-FM remains in Soda Springs ID due to its financial problems.

On May 29th 2009, The US Bankruptcy Court in Salt Lake City, UT appointed a receiver to take over KITT-FM. US Capital, Incorporated of Boulder CO. foreclosed on Legecy Media, the owners of KITT-FM and several other stations.

KITT's call letters were previously used in Las Vegas, NV, Pearl City, HI, Parowan, UT, San Diego, CA, and Shreveport, LA.
