again moved to 104.1 FM and the KABQ-FM call sign and smooth jazz format was moved to 104.7 FM. Smooth Jazz 104.7 A new format playing smooth jazz music programmed by satellite from Broadcast Architecture had launched on September 29, 2006 on 104.1 FM. On December 13, 2007, the station relocated from 104.1 FM to 104.7, a weaker signal in the Albuquerque market. The format lasted until May 2, 2009. Classic country On May 2, 2009, KABQ-FM flipped to classic country with music mainly from the 1980s. The station featured several personalities that were voice-tracked from outside the market. On June 21, 2013, the format moved to an HD subchannel of KBQI that is rebroadcast on FM translator K251AU (98.1 FM). Classic hits and 1980s hits On July 2, 2013, KABQ-FM flipped to classic hits, branded as "104-7 KABQ Albuquerque's Classic Hits", and featuring music from the 1960s, 1970s and 1980s. The format did not feature any on-air personalities and had low ratings. On May 2, 2016, KABQ-FM shifted to an all-1980s hits format. With the change, Mitch Craig, who had previously been the voice of KRQE, became the official voiceover talent for the station. This brought the all-1980s format back to the Albuquerque market after KRKE ended the format in late September 2015 in preparation of a sale of that station. Donation and flip On February 5, 2021, iHeartMedia's Aloha Station Trust LLC announced they would donate the station to the Delmarva Educational Association. On April 16, 2021, the donation was completed. Following consummation, the station went dark. On April 27, 2021, the call letters changed to KKTH. The KABQ-FM call letters would be moved to former sister station KOLZ on May 31. On June 4, 2021, the station returned to the air as "Buenas Nuevas", airing Spanish-language Christian contemporary music. However, by the end of that month, the station would broadcast dead air for a few weeks, and by about late July, would once again go off the air. It returned to the air in early fall 2021.
