 The station was stagnant and looking for its niche when in 1984 Dic Youngs, a former on-air personality and currently a time salesman who had been with the station since 1966, started hosting the "Saturday Night Oldies Party".This feature became a hit immediately and helped to set the station in the right direction, and ran on KIOA through September 2007, when the show and host Youngs moved to sister station 1350 KRNT.Due to the success of the "Saturday Night Oldies Party" the format was changed to oldies on a full-time basis in 1986.
