KNRS-FM (105.9 MHz) is a commercial radio station, owned by iHeartMedia, Inc. KNRS-FM is licensed to Centerville, Utah, broadcasting to Salt Lake City and its suburbs. KNRS-FM began airing a talk radio format in early August 2009. The station's studios are located in West Valley City. The station's transmitter is on a tower located on Farnsworth Peak, 18 miles (29 km) southwest of Salt Lake City, in the Oquirrh Mountains.
KNRS-FM carries the same call letters and programming heard on its sister station 570 AM KNRS, where the call letters originated. KNRS-AM-FM identify themselves as "Talk Radio 105.9."
On December 24, 1979, the station originally signed on as KCGL at 105.5 FM. It was powered at only 500 watts and offered easy listening music for the northern suburbs of Salt Lake City. In 1990 the station switched to country music as KBCK {K-Buck), carrying Buck Owens' "Real Country" Network.
In 1992, the station got a major power boost and increase in antenna height while moving to 105.7 MHz, now covering much of the Salt Lake City metropolitan area. The call sign changed to KUMT, as "105.7 The Mountain," airing an adult album alternative (AAA) format. From November 2001 until November 2005, the station's call letters were KCPX identifying itself as "Channel 105.7" and airing a Top 40 format. (KCPX had been the call letters for one of Salt Lake City's legendary Top 40 stations, at 1320 AM and 97.9 FM.) From November 2005 until November 1, 2007, the station returned to an album adult alternative format as KXRV, branded as "105.7 The River, Quality Music from Then and Now."
