KKFT once aired a local weekday morning talk show hosted by conservative Monica Jaye. She was formerly at rival talk station 780 KKOH.
History
On September 1, 1985, the station first signed on as KGVM. The station had an effective radiated power (ERP) 3,000 watts from a tower that was minus 815 feet in height above average terrain (HAAT), so its coverage area was limited. The station was owned by Lloyd W. Higuera using the corporate name Carson Valley Radio and it had a soft adult contemporary format.
In 2003, the station was bought by Jerry Evans for $850,000. Evans increased the tower height to its current 2007 ft, giving the station good coverage in the cities of Reno, Sparks and Carson City. The station switched to its current talk format, to compete with the Reno radio market's 50,000-watt talk leader, KKOH, 780 AM, owned and operated by Cumulus Media.
