KRSP-FM (103.5MHz, "103.5 The Arrow") is aradio station inSalt Lake City, Utah. It is owned byBonneville International, a subsidiary ofDeseret Management Corporation, the for-profit arm ofthe Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.[1] KRSP-FM maintains studio facilities located at the KSL Broadcast House building in Salt Lake City'sTriad Center (which also housesKSFI and theKSL (radio)-TV partners), and its transmitter is located onFarnsworth Peak in theOquirrh Mountains, southwest of Salt Lake City.
The Arrow is home to "Smith and Sam" in the morning featuring former X96 personality Jon Smith and Sam Blake. It playsclassic rock music from the 1960s, 1970s, 1980s, and 1990s and features blocks of artists during the weekends.
KRSP-HD2, the station's digital second channel, plays "Deep Tracks", lesser-known songs from well-known artists.
Brothers Art and Ralph Carlson (who operated A&R Meat Company) signed onKRSP (AM) in 1966 and KRSP-FM in 1967 as vehicles to advertise their meat company. Until about 1980, KRSP-FM was a top 40 competitor toKCPX.
In the early 1980s, "Rock 103" was analbum rock competitor toKCPX-FM. It was not until the mid-1980s, however, when the station had an established morning show (Jon and Dan) and, with virtually no rock competition, KRSP became a consistent ratings winner.
When the Carlson family began selling their broadcast properties, the station passed into the hands ofSimmons Media Group, and on February 11, 1994, adopted an "All Rock and Roll Oldies" format.[2][3] Over time, the format shifted to classic rock. The station was sold to Bonneville International in 2003,[4] and its studios are currently located in the same building asKSL.[5]
In addition to the main station, KRSP is relayed by an additional three translators to widen its broadcast area.
