History
On August 30, 2011, KZTQ (moved to 93.7 FM Sun Valley, NV) changed their call letters to KSGG and began stunting towards a new format, landing at Rhythmic CHR as "Swag 97.3." This marks a return to the format on this signal, as it was the original format of KWNZ during the 1990s and early 2000s prior to relocating to the 93.7 signal in 2004.[1]
On March 18, 2013, KSGG began stunting, running a loop directing listeners to KSGG 1230 AM and FM translator K285EQ 104.9 FM.[2]
On March 20, 2013, KSGG changed their call letters to KOLC. On March 25, 2013, at 12 Noon, KOLC launched a modern adult contemporary format, branded as "Little City 97.3".[3]
On March 4, 2014, KOLC began stunting again, redirecting listeners to FM translator K223AL 92.5 FM in South Lake Tahoe (relays KLCA-HD3), which picked up the "Little City" modern AC format.[4] The next day (March 5), KOLC ended stunting and launched a country music format, branded as "Ten Country @ 97.3". Rudy Michaels has been the morning show host since shortly after the transition to the country music format.
