[2] On December 12, 1973, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) granted a construction permit to the Southern Utah Broadcasting Company, owner of KSUB (590 AM), for a new FM radio station in Cedar City.

That application took 16 months to be granted,[3] because the company had to assure the FCC that the move further south would not cause impermissible interference to an FM station in Las Vegas, despite being nominally short-spaced to it.

[6] The Cedar City outlet was heard in St. George for the first time after securing FCC approval to build a translator there.

[10] On March 1, 1984, KSUB and KSUB-FM switched formats, with country music moving to AM and adult contemporary to FM, which became KSSD; the new call sign was inspired by the "Sun Kissed" motto for the area used by the St. George chamber of commerce.

[14] On June 21, 2001, a shuffle among co-owned radio stations moved the Kickin' Country format to 940 AM, replacing adult standards "Magic 940".

[15] Cherry Creek conducted a format shuffle in 2006 and moved the contemporary hit radio programming and call sign of KXBN, previously at 94.9 MHz, to 92.5.
