History

The station was assigned the call sign KMSD-FM on September 20, 1989. On April 15, 1991, the station changed its call sign to KPHR; on May 15, 1998, it became KKSD. [2]

KKSD ran a classic rock format as "104.3 The Fox" for many years, and flipped to its "Hippie Radio 104.3" classic hits format on January 1, 2013. [3] The Hippie Radio branding was dropped in June 2018.

KKSD was owned and operated by Alpha Media after it purchased the stations of Digity, LLC, in 2015. [4] Alpha Media merged with Connoisseur Media on September 4, 2025. [5]
