Encyclopedia
KYMV, "Rewind 100.7", is a 1980s
-based contemporary radio station serving the Salt Lake Valley
. The Simmons Media outlet broadcasts at 100.7 MHz with an ERP of 88Kw and is currently licensed to Woodruff, Utah
. They also use five on-channel boosters in the area to cover the metro.
(FCC) regulations caused this to cease. After a time, the station began simulcasting on 105.1 FM KNJQ. The format changed and grew into a more Triple A styled format mirroring KENZ 107.5 FM. The station received a city of license change to Coalville and a new frequency of 103.1. At this time, 100.7 aired a continuous imaging loop telling northern Utah listeners to re-set their presets to 103.1 FM. 100.7 became KEGH with a simulcast of Simmons Media's country station, KEGA.
KEGH was serving as a simulcast of KEGA
/Oakley, Utah
, which broadcasted a contemporary country music format. But this changed on September 7, 2006, when the station moved its signal from Brigham City, Utah
to Woodruff
, along with an increase of power of 88 kw, thus allowing the station to cover about 80% of the metropolitan area.
KEGH call letters moved to 106.9 FM, replacing KRAR; which is now a simulcast of KEGA covering the same area.
At the start, KYMV's format was patterned after KQMV
/Seattle, Washington
and was one of 13 stations to adopt the "Movin'" format, alongside KQMV, KMVN-FM
/Los Angeles
, WMVN/St. Louis
and KFRC
/San Francisco. However, after three years with Rhythmic AC, KYMV switched directions to Top 40/Mainstream on March 2, 2009, but kept the "MOViN" moniker for its new direction, and it was likely be used until the license to use it ran out. But after a year as a Top 40, KYMV returned to Rhythmic AC on June 11, 2010. Since that shift, it adopted a Rhythmic contemporary direction with emphasis on Dance-Pop tracks. As a result of this shift, KYMV was added to the Mediabase
Rhythmic panel. Ironically at the same time KYMV made the shift to Rhythmic Top 40, parent company Simmons Media Group added rival Hip-Hop heavy Rhythmic outlet KUUU
and Top 40/CHR KUDD to its porfolio, thus placing KYMV in the center musically.
On Monday, Aug. 1, 2011 at 12:00am, MOViN shifted to an '80s-focused hit music format but allowing for some 2000s-era songs from such acts as Beyonce. The music is similar to what was heard on Movin' 93.9 in Los Angeles prior to Emmis' decision to lease the station to Grupo Radio Mexico, despite its surge in the Arbitron ratings as an 1980s-focused hit music station.
On September 1, 2011 KYMV rebranded as "Rewind 100.7".
