KSIT (99.7 FM) is an American radio station licensed to serve the community of Rock Springs, Wyoming. KSIT's sister stations are KQSW 96.5, KRKK AM 1360, and KMRZ.

History

The station signed on as KSIT in 1978. In 1997, the station changed call signs to KMKX. In 1999, the station returned to KSIT. Prior to 1999, the station was not a sister station but rather a competitor to KQSW/KRKK. Big Thicket Broadcasting acquired the three stations and KSIT was no longer a competitor but rather a sister station.

As of 2009, Johnny K. was the Morning Show host and played song requests along with his own personal favorites. When Johnny K was unavailable, Ellie Woman would take his place on the Morning Show. Johnny King's relationship with Big Thicket Broadcasting ended in mid 2009.

Frequency change

In 2005, KSIT moved its frequency from 104.5 to its current 99.7 MHz to clear the path for the Utah radio station KYLZ to move to 104.7 MHz and change its city of license to Lyman, Wyoming. The frequency change was funded by the owners of KYLZ. 3 Point Media, the owners of KYLZ sought bankruptcy protection in July 2007, prior to the new KYLZ facilities being licensed for operation.

Signal

KSIT covers almost all of Sweetwater County and also has fringe coverage in parts of northern Utah and southeastern Idaho. The station's broadcast tower is located on top of Aspen Mountain, south of Rock Springs. KSIT's tower is 8,648 feet (2,636 m) above sea level on top of Aspen Mountain.
