Station history
KTRS was formerly on 95.5 FM from its sign on date in 1981 until the late 1990s. KTRS, when it was on 95.5 in the early to mid '80s, was a typical Top 40 station that played everything from Diana Ross and Kool & the Gang to Pat Benatar and Journey. In the late '90s the station moved to 104.7 FM after being sold by Heart Media to Mountain States Broadcasting. For a short time in the late '90s after moving to 104.7 FM the station used the call letters KYOD. This was prior to the FCC granting a transfer of the KTRS call letters from its location at 95.5 FM. Today KTRS is known as KISS fm and the playlist is Top 40 that ranges from Electronic Dance Music to Rap/Hip Hop and Pop Rock.
