History


98.7 FM was issued a construction permit on March 27, 1992, issued as KSQB. The station signed on July 4, 1995, with a country format as KSPG, "The Kansas Pig". The station was initially owned by former KBUZ owner Gary Violet, with Wichita-based Great Empire Broadcasting (owners of country formatted KFDI (AM) and FM) providing sales and marketing for the station. On May 19, 1997, KSPG flipped to Hot AC as KAYY, "K98.7". Entercom (now Audacy) bought the station in February 2000. On May 31, 2000, KAYY became the new home of smooth jazz-formatted KWSJ. The format was moved from its temporary frequency at 92.7 FM (now KGHF) and was originally on 105.3 FM (now KFBZ). KWSJ's smooth jazz format was dropped on March 25, 2002, and flipped to a simulcast with AM sister station KFH; concurrently, the station changed call letters to KFH-FM, which were formerly used on 97.9 FM (now KRBB).
On May 9, 2011, KFH AM and -FM changed their format to sports talk.
During the summer of 2016, KFH began simulcasting on translator K248CY (97.5 FM) in Wichita, enabling the station to be heard on three separate frequencies (97.5/98.7 FM and 1240 AM). However, it offered a more stable signal in the eastern part of the Wichita metropolitan area. Entercom announced in October of that year that KNSS would be taking over the 98.7 frequency, giving Wichita its first full-power FM news/talk station since KFH's 2011 switch to sports.
