History

The station was assigned the call sign KLIB by the Federal Communications Commission on July 20, 1960. The station changed the call sign to KILS on March 1, 1985, then to KYUU on October 4, 1988,[1] when it was part of the "LS Network" of Kansas radio entrepreneur Larry Steckline.[3]

The format in 1984/1985 was adult contemporary, and personalities on the air at that time included Paul Maldanado, Tim Malone, and John Jenkinson. Max Libby was the General Manager.

The call sign changed to KSMM on February 13, 2008.[1]
