The call letters were meant to imply "Ecstasy". 790 became Spanish-language KOOR in the late 1990s until changed to KFPT by CBS Broadcasting, implying "Fresno's Progressive Talk" and would become the market's second-most listened-to AM station.
In February 2007, KFPT AM 790 was purchased by Peak Broadcasting from CBS as part of a deal involving other stations including News/Talk KMJ, AM 580. It was then sold to Fat Dawgs 7 Broadcasting. The sale included a non-compete clause to protect Peak's conservative-leaning talk station, KMJ.
