KUWF was put up for sale by previous owner Equity Media Holdings in 2009 as part of a sell-off of all of the company's stations.[1] A buyer was not found until October, when Drewry Communications Group, owner of KSWO-TV, announced that it would purchase the station as part of a larger deal.[2]

KUWF, however, would cease operations by the fall of 2010; its license would be cancelled by the FCC on October 6, 2010.[3]
