History
The station signed on the air on October 15, 1952. Its original call sign was KTNT and it was based in Tacoma. KTNT was owned by the Tacoma News Tribune; the newspaper also owned KTNT-TV (now KSTW) and KTNT-FM (now KIRO-FM). In 1983, the AM station became KPMA, which broadcast until 1985.
The station was relaunched in 1986 as KITZ, under the ownership of Silversound Broadcasting Company. Its city of license was transferred to Silverdale.
