KTTI (95.1 FM) is a radio station licensed to serve Yuma, Arizona, United States and also serving El Centro, California. The station is owned by El Dorado Broadcasters LLC. It airs a country music format.[1]
KALJ took to the air on November 6, 1970.[2] The station was owned by Lan-Jol Enterprises, owned by Robert Langill and Joel Pollard (the call letters stood for Arizona Lan-Jol).[3]
KALJ was sold and went silent on December 31, 1978, in preparation to relaunch two weeks later under new ownership as KTTI, an automated beautiful music outlet.[4] The new owners were Purr Broadcasting, owned by former KBLU-TV/KYEL advertising manager Jim Evans and businessman Rick Richmond.[5] KTTI flipped formats to country on October 1, 1981.[6] Sun Country Broadcasting bought KTTI and KBLU at the same time in 1983.[7]
KBLU and KTTI were owned by Robert Tezak, the owner of Uno, from 1988 to 1995.[8] That year, they were purchased out of bankruptcy by Commonwealth Broadcasting, owner of KYJT (now KQSR).[9] In a quick succession of owners, Commonwealth was acquired by Capstar in 1997,[10] Capstar merged with Chancellor Broadcasting to form AMFM in 1998,[11] and Clear Channel acquired AMFM in 1999.[12]
Clear Channel sold its Yuma stations to current owner El Dorado Broadcasters in 2007.[13]
