KNRS-FM (105.9 MHz) is a commercial radio station, owned by iHeartMedia, Inc. KNRS-FM is licensed to Centerville, Utah, broadcasting to Salt Lake City and its suburbs. KNRS-FM began airing a talk radio format in early August 2009.[1] The station's studios are located in West Valley City. The station's transmitter is on a tower located on Farnsworth Peak, {{convert|18|mi|km|0}} southwest of Salt Lake City,[2] in the Oquirrh Mountains.

KNRS-FM carries the same call letters and programming heard on its sister station 570 AM KNRS, where the call letters originated. KNRS-AM-FM identify themselves as "Talk Radio 105.9."

History

On December 24, 1979, the station originally signed on as KCGL at 105.5 FM.[3] It was powered at only 500 watts and offered easy listening music for the northern suburbs of Salt Lake City. In 1990 the station switched to country music as KBCK (K-Buck), carrying Buck Owens' "Real Country" Network.

In 1992, the station got a major power boost and increase in antenna height while moving to 105.7 MHz, now covering much of the Salt Lake City metropolitan area. The call sign changed to KUMT, as "105.7 The Mountain," airing an adult album alternative (AAA) format. From November 2001 until November 2005, the station's call letters were KCPX identifying itself as "Channel 105.7" and airing a Top 40 format.[4] (KCPX had been the call letters for one of Salt Lake City's legendary Top 40 stations, at 1320 AM and 97.9 FM.) From November 2005 until November 1, 2007, the station returned to an album adult alternative format as KXRV, branded as "105.7 The River, Quality Music from Then and Now."

Beginning on November 1, 2007, KXRV returned to a country format, branded "My Country 105.7," featuring voice mail messages from listeners, with no live DJs. Pre-recorded tags were heard after each song noting the title and artist. The call letters were changed to KTMY on January 17, 2008, to reflect the new format. In January 2009, the station flipped to Spanish-language adult contemporary music as "La Preciosa 105.7."

In August 2009, KTMY switched to KNRS-FM, and began carrying its current talk radio format.[2] On October 8, 2015, at 5 p.m., KNRS-FM moved up the dial from 105.7 FM to 105.9 FM, rebranding as "Talk Radio 105.9".

Programming

The station features predominantly conservative syndicated national talk show hosts, including Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity, Glenn Beck, Dave Ramsey, Clyde Lewis, Coast to Coast AM with George Noory and This Morning, America's First News with Gordon Deal. One local program is heard weekdays, hosted by Rod Arquette, during afternoon drive time. On Saturdays, KNRS originates the regionally syndicated weekend "Travel Show" hosted by Don Shafer and Larry Gelwix. Other weekend shows deal with money, health, computers and guns.
