History
While the station was still doing testing, it was assigned the KXLT-FM call sign by the Federal Communications Commission on August 26, 1994.[1] It signed on the air in September 1994.[5]
On November 16, 2006, Clear Channel Communications planned to sell 448 of its radio stations outside the top 100 markets,[6] including the company's Boise stations: KXLT-FM, KSAS-FM, KCIX, KTMY (now KAWO), KIDO, and KFXD. In March 2007, Peak Broadcasting LLC bought the former Clear Channel-owned stations.
On August 30, 2013, a deal was announced in which Townsquare Media would purchase Peak Broadcasting's stations, including KXLT-FM. The deal was part of Cumulus Media's acquisition of Dial Global; Townsquare swapped Peak's stations in Fresno, California, to Cumulus for its stations in Dubuque, Iowa, and Poughkeepsie, New York. Peak, Townsquare, and Dial Global were all controlled by Oaktree Capital Management.[7][8] The sale to Townsquare was completed on November 14, 2013.[9]
