On November 6, 1990, KQMM signed on as K14IG, and was later granted class A status in 2003.
On September 25, 2006, KQMM switched to the new MTV Tr3s network (now simply known as Tr3́s since July 2010), which was created as a result of Viacom's acquisition of Mas Musica.
On July 31, 2007, KQMM-CA was granted a construction permit to operate a digital companion channel on UHF channel 29. The digital station, KQMM-LD, went on the air on May 5, 2008.
On September 28, 2011, the station transferred their class A license to the digital channel, changing the call sign to KQMM-CD. On October 4, 2011, the station's analog license was cancelled and the KQMM-CA call sign was deleted by the Federal Communications Commission.
On August 3, 2015, KQMM-CD dropped the MTV Tres affiliation & started broadcasting Spanish religious programming from 3ABN Latino.
