KLYY signed on in 1959 under the call letters of KDUO, airing religious programming. It had been originally KQXM, owned by Leslie Morgan Wills, but was sold before it signed on. The KDUO call letters were used as it is the acronym for the phrase, "D o U nto O thers...". KDUO was initially owned by the College of Medical Evangelists, a predecessor to Loma Linda University until being sold to the Southeastern California Broadcasting Company and then the KFXM Broadcasting Company in 1969.
KDUO would later adopt an easy listening music format. However, the format was in decline in the 1980s and KDUO's ratings were in a steady decline. On the morning of January 25, 1992 at 6 a.m, KDUO dropped the easy listening music format and public radio along with different radio DJ's from other radio stations had taken over the station for 97 hours playing different music formats such as classic rock, pop, country, oldies, smooth jazz and other music formats every hour during the format transition period. On January 31, 1992 at 5:00 pm the long-awaited music format change was announced and the 97 hour public radio music format transition had ended. The call letters KDUO was soon changed to KHTX and soon after it was renamed as "K-Hits 97.5". After the announcement the station was chosen as an oldies format and the first song played was "Good Vibrations" by The Beach Boys.
