KUTI (1460AM) was aradio station broadcasting asports format to theYakima, Washington, United States area. The station was last owned byTownsquare Media.[2] The station reached all parts of theYakima Valley area. It aired programming fromESPN Radio.
The 1460 frequency was first occupied by KEVE inEverett, Washington, which was first licensed October 2, 1941.[3] It moved to Yakima in 1944 as KTYW, changing itscall sign to KIMA in 1947.[3] KIMA's call sign was changed to KMWX in 1969.[3] Throughout the 1980s and 1990s, it broadcast anoldies format with hourly updates fromNBC Radio News. KMWX was also used on the Yakima TCI CablevisionProgram Guide back in the 1990s. KMWX primarily played hits from the 1960s and 1970s, and later added some 1980s.
The station took on the KUTI call sign, formerly used at 980 kHz (nowKTCR), in 2000. When KUTI went on the air on 980, it was owned by Wally Nelskog, with a rock and roll format. In 1957, Harrison A. Roddick bought KUTI and playedclassical music. So few listeners tuned in that the station did not attract enough advertisers to keep going, and Roddick had to sell the station at a loss. Before the switch to 1460, KUTI was formerly KMWX, with acountry-western format.
KUTI went off the air August 31, 2023.[4] TheFederal Communications Commission cancelled the station’s license on April 26, 2024.[5]
