History
[edit]The station signed on the air on April 27, 1961.[1] It originally held the call sign KEST.[2][6] In 1970, the station's call sign was changed to KSPD, representing the word spud, slang for potato, one of Idaho's major agricultural products. KSPD adopted a progressive rock format.[2][7]
By 1975, the station had adopted an all news format, which it continued to air into the 1980s.[8][9] By 1989, the station had changed to a Christian radio format.[10] In 2017, KSPD added an FM translator at 94.5 for listeners who prefer to tune in to FM stations.
