History
The station first went on the air as KWWW in the 70s as a pop/disco station. In 1985, it simulcated KW3-FM when it was transitioning to its new FM position at 100.9. That lasted in until 1990, when it adopted a local news format, which lasted a few months. In 1991, the station changed to an golden oldies format.
The station changed formats again as KWWX on September 24, 1993 to serve Latino listeners in the Wenatchee community. In 2007, after Cherry Creek Radio's acquisition of KPQ (AM) and KPQ-FM, it moved to 106.7 FM (formally KZPH) so it wouldn't conflict with The Quake 102.1's classic rock format.
On January 16, 2008, the station changed its call sign to KZNW to reflect its new all sports format, as an affiliate of Fox Sports Radio and the flagship station of both incantations of the Wenatchee Wild hockey team.
The station changed to its KWWX call sign on August 10, 2015. It became an Hispanic format station which it was when it transferred to its AM frequency of 1340. It changed to its current KYSP call sign on August 1, 2016.
