The station signed on the air as KHVH on March 14, 1957, three days before the expected date of March 18, by then-owner
Kaiser Broadcasting, who would later sell the station in 1965. In 1993, KHVH swapped frequencies with
oldies station KIKI, then at 830 kHz. KIKI at 990 would drop oldies for news in 1994, followed by a flip to
country music from 1997 to 1999, a simulcast of
KIKI-FM 93.9 from 1999 to 2001, and a flip to business news in 2001 as KHBZ, only to evolve into a
talk radio format by 2004. In 2008 KHBZ changed its slogan from "The Talk Station" to "Stimulating Talk Radio" On September 2, 2010, KHBZ took possession of the KIKI calls after KIKI-FM flipped formats from
rhythmic top 40 to
rhythmic AC as KHJZ, bringing the KIKI calls back to 990. On March 18, 2016, KIKI changed its format from talk to sports, branded as "Fox Sports 990". ==References==
