Talk Radio 105.9 KNRS

📖 About

Talk Radio 105.9 KNRS (KNRS-FM) is a prominent commercial news and talk radio station licensed to Centerville, Utah, and serving the entire Salt Lake City metropolitan area. Owned and operated by iHeartMedia, the station simulcasts its robust talk programming with its AM counterpart, KNRS (570 AM), providing expansive coverage across the Wasatch Front. Its daily schedule features a powerful lineup of prominent nationally syndicated conservative talk hosts, including Glenn Beck, Sean Hannity, and Dave Ramsey, alongside comprehensive local news updates, traffic reports, and weather coverage. The frequency has a fascinating broadcast history since its original sign-on on December 24, 1979, as KCGL at 105.5 MHz, initially serving the northern suburbs with an easy-listening format. Over the decades, the frequency underwent multiple format and call-sign transitions—including stints as country music, adult album alternative ('105.7 The Mountain' / KUMT), modern rock ('Channel 105-7' / KCPX), and Spanish adult contemporary ('La Preciosa'). In August 2009, the frequency adopted the KNRS-FM call letters to carry the station's modern news/talk format. On October 8, 2015, the station officially moved up the dial slightly to 105.9 MHz, rebranding permanently as 'Talk Radio 105.9'. Catering to politically engaged, news-conscious listeners throughout Utah, KNRS serves as an influential platform for civic discourse and regional public affairs. In addition to standard FM and AM radio broadcasts, the station's content is fully accessible via digital web streaming on the iHeartRadio ecosystem, mobile apps, and dedicated podcast feeds, maintaining its status as a vital audio media outlet in the Intermountain West.
