History

The station began broadcasting April 3, 1961, and held the call sign KDHI.[2][3] It was originally licensed to Twenty-Nine Palms, California, and ran 1,000 watts during daytime hours only.[3] It was owned by Hi-Desert Broadcasting Company.[3]

In 1993, the station adopted an oldies format.[4] In December 1994, its call sign was changed to KQYN and it adopted a classic rock format.[5][6] In October 1995, the station adopted an adult standards format.[7][8] KQYN later aired an all-news format, with programming from CNN.[9][10][11]

In 2005, the station was sold to Morris Communications for $100,000.[10] Its call sign was changed to KNWH, and it adopted a news-talk format, simulcasting KNWQ and KNWZ.[5][12] On January 15, 2007, its call sign was briefly changed to KDGR, but on February 1, 2007 it was changed back to KNWH.[5]

gollark: Those operate their own nameservers which hold the nameservers for bees.com. and apioforms.net. and whatever.
gollark: So the . (root) nameservers list the nameservers for com. and net. and whatever,
gollark: Why are those the "official"/canonical ones? Because the nameserver for the parent domain says the nameserver for its subdomains.
gollark: A nameserver is basically just a server which serves the DNS protocol. This is not very descriptive, yes. But although many things work as DNS servers, nameservers (strictly authoritative nameservers, I think) are ones which serve the "official" records for one domain.
gollark: I'm not done.
