History

The frequency was home to KLMO-FM. In 1988 the station was sold to another local owner and the calls were switched to KQKS and adopted the moniker KS104. KQKS was home to 104.3 until 1997 when Jefferson-Pilot (now part of Lincoln Financial Group) moved the calls and Rhythmic Top 40 format to 107.5. After the move J-P placed a Classic Country format on the signal. But by 2000 they would moved that format over to the AM band so they can fill the Smooth Jazz void that was left open by KHIH after the latter flipped to Top 40 that year.

In June 2007 Lincoln announced that would put its television and radio stations up for sale. KJCD, along with its sister stations in Denver, is among the properties being shopped around by Lincoln.

On March 6, 2008, KJCD changed their format to sports, simulcasting KKFN 950 AM. KJCD changed their call letters to KKFN-FM on March 12, 2008.
