History

This station began their broadcasts as KIPA in 1947 through various formats. It moved from 1110 AM to 620 AM in 1973. The most recent format was oldies/adult standards music that has featured programming from ABC Radio's "Timeless Favorites" satellite feed. In 2007, its previous owner Skynet had to sign KIPA off the air after the station lost its transmitter lease. New owners brought the station back on the air with a new callsign and new format that featured programming from Sean Hannity, Dr. Laura Schlessinger, Michael Savage, and Handel on the Law, among other hosts.

On December 4, 2015, the Federal Communications Commission notified KHNU's licensee that the station's license had expired effective November 22, 2015, due to the station having been silent for the previous year.
