The station signed on in 1985 as part of SDPB's effort to improve coverage in the state's largest city. Previously, flagship station KUSD-FM only provided grade B coverage of Sioux Falls. The license was held by the University of Sioux Falls, but SDPB operated it under a longstanding management agreement. SDPB bought the station outright in December 2013.[1] The purchase, at a price of $420,000, was consummated on February 10, 2014.
