Station history
KWWV dropped the Smooth Jazz format on 99.7 and signed on as "Kiss 99.7" with the current Rhythmic / CHR format in 1997. Ownership moved the format to 106.1 FM in Fall of 1999 for better signal coverage. The station eventually dropped the "Kiss" moniker after Clear Channel filed suit claiming ownership of the name "Kiss".
After the demise of Clear Channel Communications-owned Mainstream CHR KSLY SLY 96, "Wild 106.1" moved to a more mainstream presentation, reclaiming the #1 spot in the Arbitron ratings with the age 18-34 female demographic.[citation needed] They air American Top 40 with Ryan Seacrest show on Saturdays at 8am Pacific Time.
