History

The station went on the air as KLVV on July 26, 1991. On February 1, 1992, the station changed its call sign to KYFX. On August 7, 2003, the station switched calls to the current KDIS-FM.[2]

In June 2013, Disney put KDIS-FM and six other Radio Disney stations in medium markets up for sale, in order to refocus the network's broadcast distribution on top-25 markets.[3] On July 31, 2013, KDIS-FM dropped the Radio Disney affiliation and went silent;[4] in October, Disney filed to sell KDIS-FM, as well as KRDY in San Antonio, Texas, to Salem Communications Corporation.[5] The purchase by Salem, at a price of $2 million, was consummated on February 7, 2014.

On February 24, 2014, KDIS-FM returned to the air with Christian talk, branded as "Faith Talk 99.5."[6]
