The station aired a Top 40/middle of the road format. KFIX aired hourly news updates from the NBC Radio Network. Prior to the official sign-on, they tested transmissions with the call letters KSAB (standing for "Strauss-Abernathy Broadcasting"). SW Radio Enterprises took over in 1979, flipping the format on November 19, changing call letters to KSAS, branded as "SAS 106 1/2". KSAS was a progressive rock station, in contrast to the more mainstream rock sound of KYYS at the time. Golden East Broadcasting bought the station in March 1982. In March 1983, the station flipped to album oriented rock, and changed call letters to KKCI. Longtime Kansas City personality Randy Miller made his first market appearance at KKCI. Transcolumbia bought the station in 1985. On October 2, 1986, after failing to compete against KYYS, KKCI flipped to soft rock, branded as "K-Lite", as well as changing call letters to KLYT. The station aired a very crowded format field, as the same format was heard on 6 other stations. In November 1987, Olympia Broadcasting bought the station.
