History
[edit]KSPO was an AM station from its inception in the late 1920s until becoming an FM station in 1992. The station was originally at 96.9 before it moved to its current frequency in 1996.
On March 25, 2025, KSPO and KGDN in Pasco were sold to the Educational Media Foundation (K-Love, Inc.) for $1.3 million. Ahead of the expected takeover, KSPO's owner Thomas Read filed to exchange the call letters on KSPO and sister station KFIO 1050, effective on June 16, with EMF filing to change the call letters on 106.5 to KLSN effective on June 30.
