KYYX (97.1 FM) is a country music radio station in Minot, North Dakota, owned by Clear Channel Communications. The call sign "KYYX" is pronounced as "kicks" and the station's nickname is "97 Kicks FM".

Clear Channel also owns and operates KCJB 910 (Classic country/Talk), KRRZ 1390 (Oldies/Talk), KIZZ 93.7 (Top 40), KMXA-FM 99.9 (Hot AC), and KZPR 105.3 (Rock) in Minot.

In May 2007, it was announced that Clear Channel sold the Minot group to Dean Goodman's GoodRadio, LLC. It was confirmed on May 16, 2007 by filings made public with the FCC. Then in the next couple of months, GoodRadio's plans fell through when it's financing group, American Securities Capital Partners, objected to the deal's $452 million costs. The radio station group is again up for sale, and interested buyers are actively being sought. Clear Channel "clearly" wants to rid themselves of these stations in Minot.

Previous KYYX stations

This radio station is not the first with the call letters KYYX. A country radio station out of Las Vegas, Nevada, operated as KYYX from 1985 to 1987 before going off the air and changing its call letters. Before that, the original KYYX for the United States operated as a New Wave-themed radio station out of Seattle, Washington.
