The station began in 1972 as KCIR in Corsicana Texas. The call letters stood for "The Golden 'CIR'cle". It was assigned the call letters KXCL-FM on 1983-04-12. On 1985-02-01, the station changed its call sign to KAND-FM, matching the AM sister station on 1340. After its purchase by Marcos A. Rodriguez in 1994, the call sign was changed on January 19th to KICI-FM, then again on 1998-02-20 to KDXX-FM. In 2001, KDXX applied for and was granted a move from Corsicana to better serve Waco, Texas. It was relicensed to Robinson, Texas as it is currently. On 2002-01-11 the calls changed to KDOS, on 2005-04-30 to KHCK, and on 2010-08-27 to the current KWPW.[2]
