KMTT is a commercial radio station licensed to Vancouver, Washington, broadcasting to the Portland, Oregon and Clark County, Washington area on 910 AM. KMTT is owned by Entercom and airs a sports format with programming from ESPN Radio and carries Seattle Mariners baseball games. The studios are located south of downtown Portland, and the transmitter site is in the city's northeast side along the Columbia River.
The 910 AM frequency signed on the air in 1939 as KVAN and aired a country music format in the 1950s. From 1959 to 1976, 910 kHz was used by station KISN, which during its tenure had a Top 40 format. KISN was shut down by the FCC in September 1976 after a political bias scandal.
The current station, which came on the air as KKSN on April 1, 1980, has aired numerous formats, including classical, oldies (as "Kissin' 910 from 1987 to 1989) and adult standards (as "Sunny 910" from 1989 to 1998). On March 30, 1998, as part of a format swap, the "Sunny" format would move to 1520 AM, while 910 became home of sports radio station KFXX, which would move to 1080 kHz on March 18, 2004. 910 then adopted 1080's former hot talk format as KOTK ("Max 910"). Personalities on "Max" included Don Imus, Rick Emerson, Don & Mike, Tom Leykis and Phil Hendrie. On April 21, 2005, it flipped to oldies as KKSN, picking up the oldies format after KKSN-FM 97.1 ("KISN-FM") flipped to adult hits as "Charlie FM".
