    While it was still a construction permit, the station was assigned the call letters KBHD on July 17, 1998. On September 18, 1998, the station changed its call sign to KKPN.[5]

    The station signed on the air in 1999; 25 years ago (1999).[6] The call sign changed again on March 26, 2001, to the current KPUS. The call letters stood for the station's moniker and mascot, "The OctoPUS."
