KIIS-FM (pronounced "Kiss FM") (102.7 FM) – branded 102.7 KIIS FM – is a commercial Top 40 (CHR) radio station licensed to Los Angeles, California. Owned by iHeartMedia, Inc., KIIS-FM is the origin of the KISS-FM brand, and currently serves as the flagship station for On Air with Ryan Seacrest. The KIIS-FM studios are located in Burbank, while the station transmitter resides on Mount Wilson.
Besides a standard analog transmission, KIIS-FM broadcasts over two HD Radio channels including "Evolution" on its HD-2 subchannel, and features an all-dance music format.; streams online via iHeartRadio; and extends its on-air signal by using a single full-power repeater – KVVS (105.5 FM) in Rosamond. The station also simulcasts over channel 11 on Sirius XM satellite radio. KIIS-FM has consistently been rated the #1 radio station in all of the Los Angeles, Orange, and Ventura County markets, averaging nearly 1 million listeners.
102.7 FM started as KLAC-FM, a sister station to KLAC, in 1948. The station was a simulcast of the AM station, until the late 1960s, when the Federal Communications Commission banned continuous AM/FM simulcasts for over half of the broadcast day. The FM started its own programming, which was a middle of the road format, in 1967, and changed call letters to KRHM which it remained for four years before becoming top 40 KKDJ on April 15, 1971.
