KYGO-FM (98.5 MHz) is a commercial FM radio station in Denver, Colorado, United States. The Bonneville International
country music station has an effective radiated power (ERP) of 100,000
watts. Its studios are located in Greenwood Village, and the transmitter
is on Squaw Mountain in Idaho Springs. The radio station broadcasts in
the HD Radio format. The HD2 subchannel broadcasts classic country music
as "KYGO Legendary Country." The HD3 subchannel simulcasts the Contemporary Christian format heard on KTLF in Colorado Springs.
The station signed on the air on December 1, 1953 as KFML-FM. It was owned by Everett A. Bancker, Jr. Following the sale of the station to Jefferson-Pilot Broadcasting in 1974, the station took the KIMN-FM call sign. (The KIMN currently reside at 100.3 FM in Denver, though that station is owned by Kroenke Sports & Entertainment.)
On June 1, 1979, 98.5 switched its call letters to KYGO and later that year changed from contemporary hits to country music.

On April 26, 1988, the station slightly changed its call letters to KYGO-FM. At the same time, AM 950 switched its call sign to KYGO, and began airing a classic country format, to be a companion to FM 98.5's more contemporary country sound.

In 2006, as part of Lincoln Financial Media's acquisition of Jefferson-Pilot (including the J-P media properties), KYGO became a Lincoln Financial Media station.
In 2007, KYGO-FM was named "Country Music Station of the Year" in a top 25 market by Radio & Records magazine. Other nominees included WUSN Chicago, WYCD Detroit, KEEY-FM Minneapolis, WXTU Philadelphia, and KSON-FM San Diego.
On December 8, 2014, Entercom announced it would purchase Lincoln Financial Group's entire 15-station lineup (including KYGO) in a $106.5 million deal. It operated the outlets under a local marketing agreement (LMA). On December 22, 2014, Entercom confirmed it would retain KYGO and its country format. The FCC approved the deal on June 26, 2015.

However, on July 14, 2015, the Department of Justice ruled that Entercom had too many stations in the Denver market. Entercom decided to spin off KYGO, KOSI, KKFN and KEPN to Bonneville International in exchange for Bonneville's Los Angeles station KSWD (now KKLQ) to meet ownership limits. Both Bonneville and Entercom began operating their new clusters via Time Brokerage Agreements on July 17, 2015. The transaction was consummated on November 24, 2015.
