History.
790 went on the air as KXQR in 1979, six years after receiving its construction permit, which in turn was 15 years after the group had filed for the frequency. Several ownership changes occurred in the years between receiving the permit and signing on.
Beginning in 1985, the station aired beautiful music with the call sign KXTC. The call letters were meant to imply "Ecstasy". The station changed its call sign to KOQO on September 28, 1988 and 790 became Spanish-language KOOR in 1998. In July 2005, the call letters to KFPT by CBS Broadcasting, implying "Fresno's Progressive Talk"; during this time, KFPT would become the market's second-most listened-to AM station.
In February 2007, KFPT AM 790 was purchased by Peak Broadcasting from CBS as part of a deal involving other stations including News/Talk KMJ, AM 580. It was then sold to Fat Dawgs 7 Broadcasting. The sale included a non-compete clause to protect Peak's conservative talk station, KMJ. On April 2, 2007, KFPT changed their format from progressive talk to sports, with programming from ESPN Radio.
