[5] In 2014 when the station became a part of the Wind River Radio Network, it changed formats to sports, carrying programming from ESPN.
[6] For a period of time in the spring and summer of 2014, KWYW and sister station KDNO were audible as far away as Sheridan, via a phenomenon known as knife edge diffraction, which allowed the signal to bounce over the Bighorn Mountains.
[7] On July 7, 2017, KWYW changed its format from sports (ESPN) to adult contemporary, branded as "99.1 The Heat".
In September 2023, the station, along with its sisters moved to a new studio on Main Street, co-located with the town's newspaper, The Riverton Ranger.
Along with the move to the new studio, Edwards Communications also upgraded its other stations transmitters southeast of Riverton on Beaver Rim (KFCW, KTAK), and northeast on Copper Mountain (KDNO).
