On October 15, 1962, the call letters were changed to KNGL, or "K-Angel". The slogan was "The Voice From Paradise."

On January 6, 1967, the call letters were changed to KEWQ, as "Q-Radio, Family-Oriented Christian Radio", under Butte Broadcasting, Inc., which had acquired the station in December 1966.

In 1988 it began broadcasting under the name KKXX.
