KOIT-FM

KOIT-FM (96.5 MHz FM) is an Lite Rock-formatted radio station in the San Francisco Bay Area of the United States. Its slogan is "Lite Rock, Less Talk". The station's programming was also simulcast for many years on 1260 AM. KSFB, a station carrying Roman Catholic programming, now operates on the latter frequency.

KOIT-FM is owned by Entercom Communications which also operates San Francisco radio stations KUFX/KUZX and KGMZ. The station transmits from Sutro Tower in San Francisco, with a power output of 24,000 watts effective radiated power. The signal can be received throughout the Bay Area with relative ease. There is also a booster station in Martinez, California called KOIT-3 that improves the coverage in the Diablo Valley area.

96.5 KOIT airs a "Lite Rock, Less Talk" format featuring artists like Kelly Clarkson, Elton John, Michael Jackson, Journey and the Eagles plus today's hottest Lite Rock artists including Maroon 5, Adele, John Mayer and Pink.

Since 2002, KOIT has been playing all holiday music beginning the week before Thanksgiving through Christmas Day, December 25. KOIT is known as "The Bay Area's Official Christmas Music Station." This highly-popular programming significantly increases the station's audience during the holiday season. In 2012, the station switched to its all-Christmas format at 12 p.m. on Wednesday, November 21.
