'''KSRY''' (103.1 [[FM broadcasting|FM]]) is a [[radio station]] broadcasting an [[Alternative Rock]] format as a simulcast of [[KYSR]] ('''Alt 98.7''') in [[Los Angeles, California]]. KSRY serves the [[Antelope Valley]] from its tower in [[Tehachapi, California]]. The station is owned by [[iHeartMedia, Inc.]].

==History==
103.1 FM was started by George Chambers in [[1981 in radio|1981]] and was the first radio station licensed to Tehachapi. In 1983, Robert Adelman joined Chambers and created the first [[country music]] FM radio station ([[KTPI-FM]]) to serve the Antelope Valley with a signal covering the entire area. Mark Pompey was the first program director and later Larry Marino (who later moved to [[KRLA]]) served as operations manager of this station and another in Mojave, [[KTPI (AM)|KDOL]] 1340. Studios were located in Mojave until they were moved to Palmdale. Chambers and Adelman sold [[KTPI-FM]] and KDOL to HPW in 1986. In December 2007, KTPI's format moved to [[KTPI-FM|97.7]] while 103.1 became a simulcast of [[KYSR]], Los Angeles "Star 98.7". On January 2, 2008, the KTPI call letters were moved to [[KTPI-FM|97.7]] in Mojave, and the KOSS call letters came to 103.1 FM. On January 10, 2008, the KOSS call sign was changed to KSRY.

The tower is shared with [[KKZQ]] (100.1 FM, "The Quake"), owned by High Desert Broadcasting.
