KQSP (1530 AM) was a radio station licensed to Shakopee, Minnesota and serving the western suburbs of Minneapolis.
Until March 1987, the call sign was KSMM as a 500-watt daytime operation, airing a Full Service MOR format.
This free-wheeling approach was never intended to be permanent, but was in anticipation of a sale of the station, which occurred in 2000 when the new owner changed to a Mexican music format in August of that year.
[1] In January 2017, the station went silent again, returning to the air on October 18, 2017, when Broadcast One sold KQSP to Nevada Radio for $200,000.
After being off air for well over a year, the FCC sent a letter to the owners asking for evidence regarding its silence and if the station has equipment on-hand to broadcast.
[2] On February 13, 2023, it was reported that the letter to Nevada Radio LLC inquring about KQSP's operational status was returned to the FCC as undeliverable.
