History of 97.7 FM
97.7 FM signed on the air on October 1, 1960 as KPGM. The station picked up the KPEN call letters in 1970 after they were dropped by KIOI in 1968. Call letters were changed to KLZE (Classy FM) in October 1984.
In January 1988, 97.7 became KHQT (Hot 97.7), with a Rhythmic Top 40 format. They became very popular in the South Bay.
The format continued until August 1995, when the station was sold to Susquehanna Radio and turned into a simulcast of KFOG.
