History
KSUD signed on 1962 and played rock and roll. By 1963, the music was a mix of folk, country, and gospel. Previous formats include Contemporary Christian.
In May 2005 KSUD became an ESPN Radio affiliate and changed its letters to KQPN later that year. On August 4, 2008, ESPN moved to WSMB from KQPN, and KQPN took over the Fox Sports programming from WSMB the next day.
KQPN became affiliated with Yahoo! Sports Radio on December 5, 2011 after Entercom's WMC-AM acquired Fox Sports Radio away from KQPN beginning on October 17, 2011.
