As KOAI-FM
On September 21, 1952, KOAI-FM would launch over the airwaves. It was a simulcast of sister station KOAI, and both were owned by Oasis Media of Flagstaff. Both stations broadcasted the NBC Radio Network and had a full-service format. Both stations would recieve an accompanied television station KOAI-TV (now KNAZ-TV) in 1953 which also affilated the NBC network.

On October 18, 1968, the station would no longer become a simulcast of KOAI and would start broadcasting a middle of the road format.

Sale to Northern Arizona Broadcasters
In 1970, Oasis Media of Flagstaff announced to spun off its assets. The radio stations which include KOAI and KOAI-FM would be sold to Northern Arizona Broadcasters and would both rebrand to KOAF and KOAF-FM. The station retained its MOR format until 1972 when it switched to a CHR format branding itself as "W-917" (pronounced W Nine One Seven).

The Launch of the Jet
On September 8, 1977, due to diminishing ratings, KOAF-FM would relaunch as an album-oriented rock station also known under the branding "91.7 The Jet". At the time, Flagstaff had no station with an album-oriented rock format. Immediately after switching formats, the station's ratings started to rise and was considered one of the strongest radio station to broadcast the AOR format.

In 1979, the station would switch to an oldies format while retaining its branding and in 1981, KOAF-FM changed its call-letters to KJIT-FM, which they still used today.
