The station signed on the air in February 1977. The original call sign was KUUZ. It had an automated Top 40 format. It was co-owned with 1340 KAIN with studios on 5th Street South in Nampa.
In 1982 the station changed its call letters to KBNY and aired a middle-of-the-road (MOR) format.
The station later switched to an adult contemporary format. In 1986, the call sign was changed to KFML.
In 1987, the call sign was changed to KLCI and by 1989 the format was adult rock with "Boise's New...Rock 97" as branding.
KLCI switched to playing classic rock as “Classic Rock 97” by 1993. In the mid-1990s, KLCI rebranded as “B96.9, Boise’s Best Rock” with mostly classics and a few current adult-appeal titles. In 1997, the station changed its name to “96.9 The Eagle”, along with changing its call sign to KKGL.
