History

101.9 started off as a Contemporary Christian music format in 1989 as KLIQ, better known as Q-102. Its sister station was KFIA, owned by Olympic Broadcasting. In September 1991, it simulcast with KFIA except during drive times and on the weekend when it aired Christian music. Its call letters were changed to KFIA-FM. In October 1993, the station switched to a contemporary jazz format and call letters to KSSJ. By 2000, KSSJ changed to oldies (as Cool 101.9 under the KCCL-FM calls) after KHYL dropped the format for Rhythmic Oldies. The call letters were changed to KNTY on July 19, 2006.

On July 2, 2019, Staffers at KNTY and its Columbia-Modesto simulcast KCVR-FM, along with sister KHHM, informed listeners that they have been let go as both stations will flip formats, which is expected to take place July 8, 2019, with KNTY to take a Regional Mexican presentation. The news ends a 13-year run with Country for "101.9 The Wolf," and a short 4-month run for "98.9 The Wolf."[2]

On July 8, 2019, KNTY changed their format from country to a simulcast of regional Mexican-formatted KRCX-FM 99.9 Marysville, branded as "La Tricolor".[3]

On January 7, 2020, KNTY split from its simulcast with KRCX-FM and launched a ranchera format, branded as "José 101.9".[4]
