KDNT-FM was established in June 1948 at 106.3 on the FM dial and moved to the current 106.1 in 1962. The station was a simulcast of KDNT-AM during its early years. KDNT-FM went through a number of different formats during the late 1970s and early 1980s, including a Top 40/Oldies hybrid, Disco, Rock, and Country. The station's calls changed to KDDC in 1979 and then to KIXK at the start of 1981. KIXK's format remained Country (as "Kix 106") until changing to Oldies/Classic Hits in December 1982.

In September 1984, KIXK became KTKS. Like today's KHKS, KTKS was a CHR/Top 40 station using the moniker "Kiss 106 FM." After a week of stunting with birds chirping in early October 1987, KTKS was replaced by KOAI "The Oasis," playing New Age/Smooth Jazz. In November 1992, the "Kiss FM" CHR format was revived on 106.1 with the current KHKS calls; the KOAI calls and smooth jazz format moved to 107.5, where they remained until the fall of 2006.
