History

The station signed on the air on April 3, 1961, under the call sign KDHI. It was originally a daytimer, licensed to Twenty-Nine Palms, California. It ran 1,000 watts but had to go off the air by sunset. KDHI was owned by Hi-Desert Broadcasting Company.

In 1993, the station adopted an oldies format. In December 1994, its call sign was changed to KQYN and it adopted a classic rock format. In October 1995, the station adopted an adult standards format. KQYN later aired an all-news format, with programming from CNN.

In 2005, the station was sold to Morris Communications for $100,000. Its call sign was changed to KNWH, and it adopted a news-talk format, simulcasting KNWQ and KNWZ. On January 15, 2007, its call sign was briefly changed to KDGR; on February 1, 2007, it was changed back to KNWH.

Morris Communications sold its radio stations to Alpha Media in 2015 for over $38 million. Alpha Media merged with Connoisseur Media on September 4, 2025.
