This station was authorized to Philip C. Lasky and J. H. Albert on October 27, 1927, as KGHF.

The station would eventually become country KIDN and later return to its KGHF callsign.

KDZA was shut down in the early 1990s and was sold to Pueblo Community College a few years later, which renamed that station KKPC.

When KDZA-FM adopted the Jet 107.9 moniker along with a move towards 1970s-based hits along with a focus on the Colorado Springs area, Clear Channel Communications (forerunner to iHeartMedia) decided to revive the KDZA call sign on the signal of its former competitor, AM 1350, by dropping the sports talk format on AM 1350.

On May 12, 2022, KDZA changed callsigns to KUBE as part of a warehousing move of the call letters that were formerly carried on a sister station in Seattle, Washington.
