Public license information

A sports station until 2017, the then-KTNZ was sold that year to Saint Valentine Catholic Radio for $150,000.[4] ESPN Radio programs moved to KGNC.[5]

In 2021, English-language programming was moved exclusively to 1010 kHz, which also reclaimed its former longtime KDJW call sign from the station at 1360. That frequency was relaunched as a Spanish-language Catholic radio station, "Radio San Toribio".[6]
