KTTI (95.1 FM) is a radio station licensed to serve Yuma, Arizona, United States and also serving El Centro, California. The station is owned by El Dorado Broadcasters LLC. It airs a country music format.[2]

History

KALJ took to the air in 1970 and changed callsigns to KTTI in 1979.[1]

Sun Country Broadcasting bought KTTI in 1983.[3]

KBLU and KTTI were owned by Robert Tezak, the owner of Uno, from 1988 to 1995.[4] That year, they were purchased by Commonwealth Broadcasting, owner of KYJT (now KQSR).[5] In a quick succession of owners, Commonwealth was acquired by Capstar in 1997,[6] Capstar merged with Chancellor Broadcasting to form AMFM in 1998,[7] and Clear Channel acquired AMFM in 1999.[8]

Clear Channel sold its Yuma stations to current owner El Dorado Broadcasters in 2007.[9]

KTTI is programmed by Program Director Jeff Edwards, who also serves as KTTI music director. Jeff also hosts the midday show. The weekday line-up includes After Midnight with Blair Garner from midnight to 5am and Big D & Bubba from 5 to 10am. David Horner afternoons 3 to 7 and Whitney Allen The Big Time Show from 7pm to midnight. .

Recently,[when?] KTTI was voted Yuma's favorite radio station by readers of the Yuma Sun newspaper. This marked the 18th straight year the station was chosen as Yuma's best radio station.
