KSOP-FM (104.3 FM, "Z104") is a radio station broadcasting a country music format. Licensed to Salt Lake City, Utah, United States, the station serves the Salt Lake City metropolitan area. The station is owned by KSOP, Inc. Its studios are located along Redwood Road, and the transmitter site is atop Farnsworth Peak.
KSOP-FM also has a sister station, KSOP, on AM 1370 kHz. The FM station went on the air December 10, 1964, and has claimed to be the first FM country music station in the United States. The two stations simulcast until May 2002, when KSOP AM broke away to launch a classic country format to complement the more contemporary playlist on KSOP-FM.
On August 1, 2011, at midnight, after stunting with a countdown of 10 popular non-country pop songs, KSOP-FM rebranded as "Z104".
On November 15, 2017, at approximately 12 pm (MST) the station switched on its HD Radio transmitter, allowing for clearer radio, album art in car, and other HD options. KSOP-FM's second HD Radio channel simulcasts KSOP AM; the subchannel will be discontinued in June 2025, concurrently with the closure of the AM station and the move of its classic country programming to Internet radio.
