## History

The station signed on the air in February 1977.[2] The original call sign was KUUZ. It had an automated [Top 40](/source/Top_40) format. It was co-owned with 1340 [KAIN](/source/KTIK_(AM)) with studios on 5th Street South in Nampa.

In 1982 the station changed its call letters to KBNY and aired a [middle-of-the-road](/source/Middle_of_the_road_(music)) (MOR) format.

The station later switched to an [adult contemporary](/source/Adult_contemporary) format. In 1986, the call sign was changed to KFML.

In 1987, the call sign was changed to KLCI and by 1989 the format was [adult rock](/source/Adult_rock) with "Boise's New...Rock 97" as branding.

KLCI switched to playing [classic rock](/source/Classic_rock) as “Classic Rock 97” by 1993. In the mid-1990s, KLCI rebranded as “B96.9, Boise’s Best Rock” with mostly classics and a few current adult-appeal titles. In 1997, the station changed its name to “96.9 The Eagle”, along with changing its call sign to KKGL.
