History [link]
Until 1987, the call letters were KSMM as a 500 watt daytime operation. From that point until 1998, they were KKCM (airing religious formats), before reverting to their previous calls. They upgraded their power to 8,600 watts after adopting the KKCM call sign.
The station has been limited for many years by a predominantly daytime-only signal (though its 10 watt nighttime signal covers a few far-western suburbs).
Over the years, there have been many owners and formats. Since 1999, there have been at least six different formats. From 2004 until 2005, the station was leased, along with WMIN, to a group that programmed local and syndicated progressive talk programming, primarily from Air America Radio. When the format's programmers purchased KTNF in October 2004 and transferred programming there, KSMM was up for sale once again, and played random music before returning to a Spanish-language format.
In June 1999, after an ill-fated try with a smooth jazz/talk format, the station started playing a variety of songs mixed with listener commentary, experimenting with the musical selection to find a mix that the southwest metro community liked. This evolved into a rather eclectic format that played a great deal of classic hits. Eventually, shows from the former REV105 appeared, and guest DJ shows from local bands were also featured. This free-wheeling approach was never intended to be permanent, but was in anticipation of a sale of the station, which occurred in 2000 when the new owner changed to a Mexican music format in August of that year.
Starboard Broadcasting agreed to purchase the station in September 2002, as they were rolling out their "Relevant Radio" format across the midwest. The station aired Spanish-language Catholic-based programming from EWTN. During that time period. Starboard also purchased a stronger station at 1330 AM and consolidated all of their programming there in 2004. The station was sold once again to Broadcast One, owned by Yong Kim, in June 2006.
On September 11, 2006, the station's call sign was changed to KQSP, and the format switched to tropical music.
On June 20, 2011 KQSP changed their format to urban oldies, branded as "Magic 1530".
