The station was assigned the KWKA call letters by the Federal Communications Commission.[2]
This radio station was founded by Norm Petty, producer for Buddy Holly and the Crickets and The Fireballs. The call letters KWKA were requested by Petty after a conversation with Beatle Paul McCartney, who said one of his favorite American radio stations was KWKH, in Louisiana. The station was sold to Zia Broadcasting in 2009.
