The station, first under its original call letters of KYAK and later as KGOT, was largely known in the Anchorage radio market for its decades-long association with disc jockey Larry Wayne (who also had a stint during this time at KENI when it was a Top 40 station). Wayne became a born-again Christian during his time at the station and later hosted a gospel music show on Sundays. After leaving Anchorage, he became better known due to his association with Air 1 and K-Love.
KGOT started using the moniker "Alaska's #1 Hit Music Station" in 1996 under the Program Director Paul Walker. The station was #1 in the market for many years in the late 1990s and early 2000s. Some important talent included Scott & Stu for many years into the 21st century. The station still identifies as "Alaska's #1 hit music station today.
