The station went on the air as KLVV on July 26, 1991. On February 1, 1992, the station changed its call sign to KYFX airing a Smooth Jazz/Urban Adult Contemporary hybrid format as "Foxy 99.5", later changing to an Urban AC format full-time airing The ABC Radio Networks "The Touch" format in dayparts.

On March 25, 2002, KYFX was sold to ABC Radio, and became Little Rock's affiliate for Radio Disney in September 2003.
In June 2013, Disney put KDIS-FM and six other Radio Disney stations in medium markets up for sale, to refocus the network's broadcast distribution on top-25 markets.
