History

The station broadcast a country music format as KGLL-FM, 96.1 The Eagle until October 7, 2000, when it flipped to CHR as 96.1 Kiss FM. It initially carried Rick Dees in the Morning from KIIS-FM until 2002, when it switched to a local morning show hosted by program director Chris Kelly. After being moved to the afternoon in November 2008, Kelly was replaced with Johnjay and Rich from KZZP.
In December 2017, an HD Radio simulcast of adult album alternative K235BT moved from KPAW to KSME. The call letters were previously used by a defunct radio station in Manti, Utah.
