In 1997, Salem Communications bought the station and made it into a Christian Talk format as KWRD "The Word 94.9". KWRD moved to 100.7 on December 22, 2000 by trading places with sister station KLTY.

KWRD's general manager is Pete Thomson, who helped Salem start the station in 1997. Thomson previously ran the sales department for KLTY (Christian music) from 1990 to 1996. Scott Wilder and Lauren Lintner joined The Word in 1997 to do a talk show in the afternoon. They both previously worked at KLTY.
