History

The station went on the air as KOH on 1928-09-13, and is the oldest radio station in Nevada. It was the last "new station" in the United States to receive a three-letter callsign.[2] KOH retained this call until 1994-03-10 (1994-03-18, by FCC records). In 1994, as part of a complex realignment of stations in the Reno area, the KOH intellectual unit moved to 780 AM under the calls KKOH, while 630 AM changed its calls to KRCV. On 1995-12-08, the station changed its call sign to KNRC, on 1996-02-19 to KHIT. On 1998-11-17 the station changed to KPTT, on 2005-03-16 to the current KPLY.[3]

KPLY is the Reno radio partner for the San Francisco 49ers.[4]
