History

During the 70s the station was KSAQ ("Q-100") which had a contemporary top-40 Format. KMFM was on 96.1 playing a middle of the road format. By the early 1980s KMFM flipped to KSLR 96.1 FM Son Light Radio as a Christian format. Salem communications acquired rock formatted KMAC 630AM and flipped it to KSLR 630 and KSAQ moved to 96.1FM/760 "Super Q" and KLLS 100.3 was reborn as Adult Contemporary "Class 100 FM."
