The station signed on the air on July 24, 1960; 64 years ago (1960-07-24).[3] Its original call sign was KONI. The station was a daytimer, required to go off the air at night. The owner was the Pioneer Broadcasting Company.
In 1983, the station changed its callsign to KHQN. It carried a Mainstream Rock format. In 1984, it became the only station in the United States broadcasting Hare Krishna programming full-time. The Krishna Temple of Spanish Fork took over the station from the Schofield family, the previous owners. KHQN began airing English-language devotional Hindu music, religious instruction programs and a call-in show for college students. A few hours a week were for Spanish-speaking residents in Utah County.
To help support the Spanish Fork Krishna Temple, Sace Broadcasting decided to lease the station to a Spanish-language broadcaster. The station changed to a Spanish news, talk and music format in 2006. In December 2016, the lease ended. KHQN was re-acquired by the Krishna Temple's Sace Broadcasting. The station returned to airing Hare Krishna programming full-time.
