On August 15, 1960, the station was sold to Northern Broadcasting Company and its format slowly evolved to one of "middle of the road", with polkas being heard regularly in the mid 1960s through early 1970s.
KSYC was one of the stations sold to Siskiyou Radio Partners, Inc. in 1995, owned by Tom Huth and Bob Darling.
The call letters remained the same, but the format was moved to the FM band at 103.9 MHz, now known as "The Country Station".
The station was then sold to Four Rivers Broadcasting, who also purchased KMJC, KMJC-FM, KSYC-FM and then KWHO in 2001.
Two years later, Jefferson Public Radio acquired both KMJC and KSYC from Four Rivers.
