History

This station officially signed on July 6, 2000 as Christian Contemporary as The Light 105-Dot-3 FM with call letters KLGH. On April 1, 2002 at midnight, the format of WWLS-FM 104.9 was simulcast on 105.3 after Citadel Broadcasting agreed to purchase the station. The Sports Animal (Sports Talk) format moved to KLGH on April 11, 2002 and the station would later change its calls to WWLS-FM on October 1, 2002. On August 23, 2002 the station began running an alternative rock format at night while keeping the sports talk format during the day. When broadcasting the alternative rock format, it adopted the moniker of K-Spy, an allusion to the former alt-rock format on KSPI-FM in Stillwater, OK known as The Spy. The station would eventually drop the "K" and also employed a few former DJ's from KSPI's alt-rock days. On December 25, 2002, The Spy took over the frequency full time and The Sports Animal returned to 104.9 the next day. On the 25 and January 1, 2003, The Spy was simulcast on Citadel sisters KATT-FM 100.5, KYIS 98.9 and KKWD 97.9 and briefly on KQBL 104.9 (on Christmas Day only). The station adopted the call letters KSYY in March 2003. On June 25, 2004 at 4 p.m., Citadel flipped from Alternative to Regional Mexican and became La Indomable 105.3. The station was simulcast on the AM dial at 930 WKY, but was broken off following the Citadel-ABC Radio merger.
