History
The station launched in 1983 as a country station branded as "C-107" with the KCID-FM call letters. In 1997, the station flipped to a Modern AC format and was rebranded as "107.1 CID". In May 1999, the station flipped to Adult Contemporary and was rebranded as "Star 107.1". In 2002, KCID-FM changed the call letters to KTHI and flipped to a classic hits format and rebranded now known as "107.1 K-Hits".
