[edit] History

KTBT's format history includes Top 40 as KELI in the early 1980s, it also simulcasted with its AM counterpart KELI-1430 (Now Sports KTBZ (AM)) as 14K & 92K. It was also the home to Classical Music as KCMA from its previous home at 106.1 (Now Oldies KQLL). In 1995 the station flipped to Smooth Jazz as KOAS "92.1 The Oasis" giving Tulsa it's first Smooth Jazz station at the time. The Smooth Jazz format was dropped and flipped back to Top 40 as "92.1 Kiss-FM"

Before September 2005, 92.1 was known as KIZS Mainstream Top 40 92.1 Kiss-FM. 92.1 Kiss-FM wasn't always a Mainstream Top 40 station, it was also for a while a 90s/now type Hot AC station also known as 92.1 Kiss-FM. When 92.1 Kiss-FM KIZS launched, it was a Mainstream Top 40 station, the station started leaning Adult CHR in 2002 before going fully as a Hot AC station in 2003, keeping the moniker 92.1 Kiss-FM. After a year as a Hot AC and still seeing no ratings success, it started leaning back toward Mainstream before going Mainstream Top 40 full time in mid 2004. This lasted only for a short time.

On September 23, 2005 KTBT moved over to sister station 92.1 KIZS and replaced their Mainstream Top 40 format. KTBT, which debuted its format in 2003 was originally at 101.5 where its previous format was Christian Rock (and whose move sparked outrage from listeners). But it was also signal challenged due to spotty coverage. The move gave The Beat better coverage in the area. The Mainstream Top 40 format was retained on 92.1's HD-2 station which can be heard with HD Radio Receivers. The 101.5 frequency was then switched to Clear Channel's Spanish language La Preciosa network featuring Spanish Oldies.
