The station is owned by KSOP, Inc.[2] Its studios are located nearRedwood Road in Salt Lake City, while its transmitter site is west of downtown.
Both KSOP andKSOP-FM have broadcastcountry music since their first air dates.[3] The AM station went on the air in February 1955; KSOP-FM would be added on December 10, 1964.[4] KSOP was founded by Henry Hilton, a Utah native who had worked in other local radio stations before starting KSOP.[5] In its first four months on the air, the KSOP playlist featured a mix ofpop and country music, as Hilton was hesitant to commit to a full-time country format.[4] KSOP initially operatedduring the day only. Today the Hilton family continues operating KSOP and KSOP-FM.
From December 1964 through spring 2002, KSOP was a simulcast of KSOP-FM. In May 2002, KSOP flipped to the current classic country format.[6]
In May 2025, KSOP announced that the AM station will close on June 2 after 70 years of operation. The classic country programming will continue as anInternet radio station, but will also be removed from KSOP-FM's secondHD Radio channel.[7] A request forspecial temporary authority to remain silent was filed on June 6, 2025 due to financial reasons. The last song On KSOP 1370 AM was Happy Trails By Roy Rogers and Dale Evans. Then the Station Went Silent.
