History

The station first went on the air has KWWW in the 70s as a pop/disco station. In 1985, it simulcated KW3-FM when it was transitioning to its new FM position at 100.9. That lasted in until 1990, when it adopted a local news format, which lasted a few months. In 1991, the station changed to an golden oldies format. The station changed formats again as KWWX on September 24, 1993 to serve Latino listeners in the Wenatchee community. In 2007, after Cherry Creek Radio's acquisition of KPQ (AM) and KPQ-FM, it moved to 106.7 FM (formally KZPH) so it wouldn't conflict with The Quake 102.1's classic rock format. On January 16, 2008, the station changed its call sign to KZNW and to reflect its new all sports format.

The station changed to the current KWWX call sign on August 10, 2015. It is now an Hispanic format station which it was when it transferred to its AM frequency of 1340. KZNW was dropped by Cherry Creek radio. 106.7 has now emerged as KKWN, a all news/talk format, which is simulcasted on 1370 AM KWNC out of Quincy, WA.
