96.1 History

96.1 signed on for the very first time in 1993 as Christian AC KBIQ, and was originally owned by The Word in Music Inc. which was a part of the Colorado Springs based "Bethesda Corporate Family." TWIM was a Non-Profit corporation which did on-air fund raisers for the station but sold commercial air time. In 1996 Salem Communications brought KBIQ and continued the Christian AC format. During the same year Salem brought crosstown KIKX 102.7 FM and moved the Christian AC format and calls letters to that respected frequency. Salem then adopted the call letters KPRZ for 96.1 and flipped it to a Praise & Worship format and adopting the moniker "Praise 96."

In 1999 Salem entered an agreement with AMFM Inc. (which would be absorbed into Clear Channel) to swap stations. As part of deal Salem would acquire KSKY-AM in Dallas-Fort Worth while AMFM would acquire KPRZ-FM. After the station swap KPRZ-FM flipped to a Classic Rock format as KMOM (Mother 96.1). Clear Channel remained committed to the format until October 2004 when it flipped to its current Rhythmic format as KIBT.

Trivia

By coincidence, KIBT is the western reflection of sister station WIBT in Charlotte, North Carolina, which also calls itself "96.1 The Beat" with a Rhythmic format.
