GapWest was folded into Townsquare Media on August 13, 2010. [5]

History

KMMS started out as KUUB 95 the Kube, Yellowstone Country's hit music. It was Bozemans home of the original American Top 40. In 1991, the station flipped to a hybrid Rock/Alternative/Adult Rock format. This left Bozeman without a pop music station for ten years until KSCY (KISN) Started transitioning from Adult Contemporary to top 40 in 2002.
