Key Information
History
[edit]KALJ
[edit]KALJ took to the air on November 6, 1970.[3] The station was owned by Lan-Jol Enterprises, owned by Robert Langill and Joel Pollard (the call letters stood for Arizona Lan-Jol).[4]
KTTI
[edit]KALJ was sold and went silent on December 31, 1978, in preparation to relaunch two weeks later under new ownership as KTTI, an automated beautiful music outlet.[5] The new owners were Purr Broadcasting, owned by former KBLU-TV/KYEL advertising manager Jim Evans and businessman Rick Richmond.[6] KTTI flipped formats to country on October 1, 1981.[7] Sun Country Broadcasting bought KTTI and KBLU at the same time in 1983.[8]
KBLU and KTTI were owned by Robert Tezak, the owner of Uno, from 1988 to 1995.[9] That year, they were purchased out of bankruptcy by Commonwealth Broadcasting, owner of KYJT (now KQSR).[10] In a quick succession of owners, Commonwealth was acquired by Capstar in 1997,[11] Capstar merged with Chancellor Broadcasting to form AMFM in 1998,[12] and Clear Channel acquired AMFM in 1999.[13] Clear Channel sold its Yuma stations to current owner El Dorado Broadcasters in 2007.[14]
