[edit] History

The original call sign was WTOS, which referred to its city of license, when it signed on in the 1960s. For a long time, 103.7 was WEZW, which featured a beautiful music format. As the format withered away on radio dials across the country during the 1980s and 1990s, 103.7 tweaked the format by adding adult contemporary music with vocals, changing it's calls to WAMG in 1995 and slogan to Magic 103.7. Unable to compete with WLTQ, they flipped to a Rhythmic Adult Contemporary format. In 1998, 103.7 Kiss FM was born.

Until 1993-1994: WEZW; Easy 104 (Beautiful Music)
1994-1995: WEZW; Easy 104 (Soft Adult Contemporary)
1995-1996: WAMG, Magic 103.7 (Soft Adult Contemporary)
1996-1998: WAMG; Magic 103.7 (Rhythmic Adult Contemporary)
1998-present: WXSS; 103.7 KISS-FM (CHR)

[edit] The $10000 Kiss FM Fugitive

The $10000 Kiss FM fugitive is a popular feature on Kiss FM. The object is to catch and ask the fugitive these exact words "Are you the $10000 Kiss FM fugitive? and he/she will give you the 10 grand. If you say the question wrong, the fugitive will not give you the money. There have been two fugitives, one in 2005 and one in 2006. The current (2006) fugitive also has a MySpace.

Fugitive Clues (taken from the Kiss FM website)

I’m going to help you out today and stop being a clown. Another thing you need to know is that my hair is brown.
The fugitive has been checking out JoJo and this will make your head start throbbin’. After look into JoJo’s myspace... we have something very much in common!
I don’t carry a blackberry or even a pager. The truth is I’m a communications major.
The fugitive clues keep coming and when I’m caught I’ll stop. But right now I’m hoping my plans will take a wicked hop.
It was revealed that The Fugitive had taken Rahny’s phone and was going to post pictures from his phone.
It’s my first day with Rahny’s phone, maybe I got some pictures of his mom! The only way for you to see the ones I post is to become a friend of Tom!
The week’s coming to an end, and I have a lot yet to do. I’ll tell you right now that I am loyal to crimson and blue.
I’m still working tonight at my job and have yet to take a break. I’m in the mood for a super thin crust pizza or maybe a great big steak.
The Fugitive has another set of initials to go with a previous clue. These initials are simply VW, they never stop working for you.
There’s been a lot of speculation about my height that is about to end. The fugitive is not really short or tall…today I stand right around 5’10’’.
The clues get bigger as more of my description gets unburied. It’s time for me to let you know, that the Fugitive is not married.
I’ve been reading the message boards and some of you are still in the dark. For those of you that think I’m a Jayhawks music fan, you’re off the mark.
The $10,000 you get from me could open up a whole new door. I went to the same school as someone from The Office on Channel 4.
Make sure you ask everyone “Are you the $10,000 KISS-FM Fugitive?” You’ve got nothing to lose! I hesitate to give this clue but, oh well, LG are some initials you can use.
This morning’s clue has everything to do with The Office...a TV show...no jive. This fugitive has nothing to do whatsoever with the nice folks on Capitol Drive.
More and more people want to know where I dine. “Let’s just say that Mo is a friend of mine.”
The fugitive is ready to give a personal clue, but hopes to still stay alive... I’m going to give you a measurement now, you could call it a 9.5.
The fugitive can help you with 10 grand if you happen to be broke. Here’s another clue to narrow the search, the Fugitive does not smoke.
You still have to ask yourself, is it a her or is it a him. I can’t tell you that yet, but I do belong to a (gym?) (Jim?).
I can’t believe that my gas tank once again is low. Where can I go to fuel up, oh, there’s an Amoco.
Seems some people want to know my favorite color to find me by site... The fact of the matter is boys and girls a lot of my world is black or white.
The $10,000 is yours if you find me... I know you’re not a fool. The fact of the matter is when I’m out, I prefer darts to pool.
To win the $10,000 a note won’t do, you must use your voice. I’ll tell you right now that the piano is my instrument of choice.
The fugitive message board is full of guesses, some good and some bad. There’s been some debate and I’m ready to state that I am a college grad!
It’s time to clarify an earlier clue so I hope you understand. The silver I said I have on my hand is not a wedding band.
The fugitive still has all the money and so far it’s been a blast. As I start to see an e right here, Speedway is where I’ll go for gas.
I have a problem, this ain’t no joke... I’m sort of addicted to Diet Coke.
I know where I’m going... You know where I’ve been! I’m a big fan of the Jayhawks from “way back when.”
I’m not ready to be caught just yet, so I am not going to boast. But you’ve made a forum especially for me, so I feel that I must post.
The clues continue to get better, yes, this is true. I’m ready to tell you now, I’m from the class of ‘92.
Find me, the fugitive, and it’s $10,000 I’ll pay. At dinner, I’ll have red wine over white any day.
I can’t believe how soon it’s getting dark, I sure do miss my walks in Juneau Park.
The fugitive is tired today and feelin’ kind of dead... And, even though my eyes might be, as for my hair it isn’t red.
It doesn’t matter if it’s a check or picking up a phone that rings, you’ll find me using my right hand for doing most things.
The fugitive is starting to sweat, that seems quite clear. But no matter how thirsty I am I won’t sit down for a beer.
Seems like everybody has their own ringtone from Justin to Joey Ramone. If you hear mine go off, it’s nothing fancy, in fact it came with the phone.
As the days get shorter, the clues get bigger, of that there is no doubt. Among the other places I’ve mentioned, Home Depot is a place that I hang out.
I like to go to lots of places... Some are new and some are retro... But it goes to gathering food, I go to a market that’s metro.
You know when you find me you’re gonna make a huge killing. Walgreens is where I’ll be when my prescription needs re-filling.
What can I say that hasn’t already been said... Oh yeah, I’m a big fan of Panera Bread.
Halloween is tomorrow night it’s true and I may dress very scary. Keep this in mind when you look for me though... My face is not at all hairy.
To win the 10 grand you must ask me the question and I will be true. But when you come up and look in my eyes, you’ll see that they are not blue.
When it comes to going out to lunch I do have a fave... It’s not burgers or fries, but a sub that I crave...
I’m always on the go, to avoid getting caught I won’t linger. I’m a big fan of Jewel, but is it the store or the singer?

I'm out and about for everybody to see...and when it comes to coffee, Starbucks is the one for me!
Pay attention to these clues, you're not being conned, as you try to collect 10 grand, don't look for a blonde!
I'm not a couch potato, not even a little bit, the truth is I work hard to keep myself physically fit!
Now listen hear all you lads and lasses...chances are when you find me...I'm not wearing glasses.
I like lots of singers...I like lots of bands...you'll find a piece of silver on one of my hands.
To find me, the fugitive, you shout it or bark it, you might be able to do it at your neighborhood Target.
I appear nice and friendly, oh, I can be quite a charmer. In fact you may have seen my smile at the Elegant Farmer.
The fugitive gives clues for you to stop and think... The first one is…I have no ink!!!
To find the Fugitive you’ll have to get up off your seat…no need for a step ladder though, I’m under 6 feet.
I’m gonna narrow your search so listen to this. I’m definitely employed, but I don’t work for KISS.
I know you like these clues I know you wanna know some more. For the time…I don’t wear a watch…that’s what my cell phone is for.
The Fugitive right now has very little to say... But wherever you find me you won’t have to pay.
