KKDO (94.7 FM) is an American commercial radio station serving Sacramento, California. Their trademark is "Radio 94-7" and programs an alternative rock music format. The Entercom outlet broadcasts at 94.7 MHz with an ERP of 25 kW and is licensed to Fair Oaks, California. The station's HD Radio channel currently offers an Urban Adult Contemporary format. Its studios are located in North Highlands (with a Sacramento address) and its transmitter is near Citrus Heights.
KNIS went on the air in Carson City, Nevada, on November 25, 1970. It was owned by Western Inspirational Broadcasters, Inc., and broadcast from McClellan Park. In 1984, Western Inspirational Broadcasters sold the station to Sapphire Broadcasting, though it would retain Western's religious format.
In 1990, a new KNIS, now the key station of the Pilgrim Radio religious network, went on the air at 91.3. 94.7 became KRWR at the same time and solicited a move from Carson City to Fair Oaks, California. The station became KIZS in 1992 and KTHX-FM in 1994 as the FCC decided on the Fair Oaks proposal, and in 1996, the Susquehanna Radio Company, which would be bought out by Entercom a year later, bought the newly minted Sacramento market station for $14.95 million.
In 1998, 94.7 entered the Sacramento market with a smooth jazz format as KSSJ. KSSJ proved to be a success story in the market, where it established itself as one of the top-rated stations in several Arbitrons since its sign on. It was the successor to KSSJ at 101.9, which ended when American Radio Systems sold 101.9 to Excell Communications (now part of Entravision) and the KSSJ intellectual property to Entercom.
