History

KLTQ signed on the air in 2012 as KSFQ. The station was owned by the Cochise Community Radio Corporation, the noncommercial division of Cochise Broadcasting, but it barely operated at all. In a 2017 consent decree, the Federal Communications Commission required Cochise to unload the licenses of KSFQ and nine other stations that had minimal to nonexistent broadcast histories. [3] The station was donated to Good News Radio Broadcasting, Inc., owners of Tucson's KVOI, that September.

Effective December 16, 2022, Good News Radio Broadcasting donated KSFQ and sister station KXMK to Educational Media Foundation. EMF changed the station's call sign to KLTQ on January 10, 2023.
