KNIT (AM)

National religious leaders heard on KNIT include David Jeremiah, Joni Eareckson Tada, Chuck Swindoll and Jim Daly.

Effective December 1, 1921, the U.S. Department of Commerce, in charge of radio at the time, adopted a regulation formally establishing a broadcasting station category, which set aside the wavelength of 360 meters (833 kHz) for entertainment broadcasts, and 485 meters (619 kHz) for farm market and weather reports.

[17] The Newhouse Hotel became the owner in 1924,[18] and in 1926 Sidney S. Fox's Intermountain Broadcasting Corporation, located at the Ezra Thompson Building, gained ownership.

[19][8] During the Golden Age of Radio, KDYL aired a line up of dramas, comedies, news, sports, game shows, soap operas and big band broadcasts.

[22] Sydney Fox later invested in the construction of its sister stations KDYL-FM (now KBEE) in 1947 and in KDYL-TV (now KTVX) two years later.

[8] In 1953, Fox sold KDYL-AM-FM-TV to the Time-Life Corporation for $2.1 million,[8] which changed the TV station's call letters to KTVT.

In late 1959 Columbia Pictures Electronics, Inc. purchased KDYL-AM-FM and KTVT, and changed their call signs to KCPX, KCPX-FM, and KCPX-TV.

Columbia Pictures, which had just been acquired by The Coca-Cola Company, sold KCPX and KCPX-FM to Price Broadcasting in 1982.

[39] On August 11, 1992, the station's call sign switched to KCNR to represent CNN Radio, its main supplier of national news.

[45] The Larry H. Miller Group bought rival KZNS-FM (97.5) and KZNS in May 2012, after the end of its local marketing agreement (LMA) with KFNZ.

Cumulus elected to sell the land used for KFNZ's transmitter site, due to its increased value in the expanding Salt Lake City real estate market.

[51] Therefore, Cumulus rescinded its license surrender request, instead filing for a Special Temporary Authorization to temporarily remain silent.

The sale was completed on August 22, 2017, and on October 18, 2017, the new owners changed the station's call letters to KNIT.

[52] Kona Coast Radio was required to relocate the transmitter site, and the station remained off the air for two years during this process.
