The stationsigned on the air on July 31, 1965.[5] Its originalcall sign was KWHO-FM, thesister station to KWHO 860 AM (nowKKAT). The stations had studios on East 2nd Street. Because the AM station was adaytimer, required to go off the air at night, KWHO-FM was able to keep theirsimulcast programming going into the evening.
By the 1970s, the two stations had separate programming. KWHO-FM began airing anautomatedTop 40 format.[6] KWHO-FM was broadcasting at 37,000 watts but with atower at minus 93 feet. So its reach was only in and around Salt Lake City.
In 1984 the station had asoft adult contemporary format and was known as KLTQ-FM. Then in 1988, it switched its call letters to KLZX, becoming a competitor toKRSP-FM and carried aclassic hits andclassic rock format.[7] That format lasted seven years.
On May 8, 1995, KLZX made a big change. It became KUBL, switching from classic rock to the current country format.[8][9][7] On September 13, 2022, KUBL was rebranded as "93.3 The Bull".[10]
