History
KWFM
Alvin Korngold, owner of KEVT 690 (now KCEE) was granted the construction permit for an FM station in Tucson at 92.9 on August 6, 1969. The new station was assigned the KWFM call letters in October and signed on the air in March 1970, with full 24-hour programs starting on April 1.[1] KWFM was a freeform rock station in its early years. By the late 1990s, KWFM broadcast an oldies format.
Coyote Country
On April 2, 2001, KWFM and its oldies music moved to the 97.1 frequency (and eventually to AM), and a new country station, KOYT "92.9 Coyote Country", launched on 92.9. The format lasted over two and a half years.
92.9 The Mountain
KOYT flipped to adult album alternative (AAA) on December 5, 2003, becoming KWMT-FM on January 22, 2004. KWMT-FM focused on music from the AAA charts. It also had various artists who recorded live performances to play on the station. There was a segment titled Chill Side of The Mountain every night from 11pm-1am which included ambient and underground music such as AIR, Hooverphonic, Lamb, The Polyphonic Spree, Radiohead, Massive Attack, Morcheeba and Zero7. Acoustic Sunrise and Acoustic Sunset, from 7am-noon and 8-11pm respectively, offered a "unique blend of acoustic sounds", with a wide range of artists. A few times a month, they also held a small listener attended artist session and meet-and-greet called Studio C.
In the late 2000s, KOYT became a hot AC station after adding non-AAA artists, but it kept The Mountain branding. It was also added to the Mediabase & BDS hot AC panels.
My 92.9
On November 18, 2011, at 5pm, after playing "It's the End of the World As We Know It" by R.E.M., the station was relaunched as "My 92.9".[2] On November 28, 2011, KWMT-FM changed their call letters to KMIY. In July 2013, the station's "Valentine" morning show replaced with Detroit syndicated show Mojo In The Morning, formerly simulcasted on sister station KOHT-FM. Mojo was replaced by a local morning show, Cyndi & Chris, on November 2, 2015.[3] KWMT modified its music mix in December 2017 to incorporate more 80s and 90s into its playlist, repositioning as "Variety from the 80s, 90s, and Today."
