On April 7, 2010, CPTC announced that it would outsource KVTI's operations to Northwest Public Radio effective June 1, 2010.
Washington State University had been looking for some time to enter the Seattle market, even though it would be going head-to-head with two of the highest-rated NPR stations in the country, KUOW-FM and KPLU-FM.
It can't be heard at all in major portions of Snohomish County because it is short-spaced to KSER in Everett at 90.7.
Fifty-five years of programming and operation by Clover Park students and staff ended at the close of the broadcast day June 16, 2010.
On June 17, it became a repeater of Northwest Public Radio's "NPR and Classical Music" service.
