Founded in 1950 as KMOD, the station became KFIV in 1957 and had a hit music format branded "K-5" for much of its first four decades. From 1989 to 1991, the station had call sign KASH and a business news format. KFIV returned to its present call sign in 1991 and began broadcasting a news/talk format around 1994. Clear Channel Communications, predecessor to iHeartMedia, bought KFIV in 2000.
