[11][12][13][14][15][16][17] From 1988 to December 2003, mornings on KLSY were hosted by Bruce Murdock, Tim Hunter and Alice Porter.

On February 1, 2002, at 9 a.m., the station altered its format to Adult Top 40 as "Mix 92.5" but retained the KLSY calls.

The first song as "MOViN" was The C+C Music Factory's "Gonna Make You Sweat (Everybody Dance Now)".

As of November 2010, Mediabase added KQMV to the CHR panel and would rival KBKS and KUBE.

[28][29][30] In July 2013, Sandusky announced it would sell its radio holdings in Seattle and Phoenix to Hubbard Broadcasting, based in St. Paul, Minnesota.
