History

The station signed on the air on September 11, 1986. While it was still a construction permit, before it was built, it got the call sign KLKY, which stood for the word "Lucky." It was owned by Lucky Communications, with R. David Carson as the president. The station was a daytimer, required to go off the air at night. It was an affiliate of the Satellite Music Network, carrying an adult standards and middle of [the road (music)|middle of the road] format known as "Stardust."
In 1991, it changed its call letters to KWDS. The station was assigned the KQNA call sign by the Federal Communications Commission on January 12, 1994. It also was given permission by the FCC to broadcast around the clock but at a much lower power after sunset.
