The station began broadcasting October 17, 1962, holding the call sign KQOT, and originally broadcast at 940 kHz.[2][3] In 1966, the station's frequency was changed to 930 kHz.[3] The station aired a rock format in the 1970s.[2][4] In 1979, the station's call sign was changed to KVGM, and it adopted a MOR format.[3][5]

In 1984, the station's call sign was changed to KBNG.[6] In 1985, its call sign was changed to KAJR.[7] In 1986, the station's call sign was changed to KZTA.[8] In February 1987, the station's call sign was changed back to KAJR, but was changed back to KZTA in June 1987.[8] As KZTA, the station aired a Spanish language format.[9][10]

In February 1996, the station's call sign was changed to KJOX, and it adopted a sports radio format, branded "Jocks 930".[11][12] In November 1997, the station's call sign was changed to KGER, and it adopted a religious format.[8][13][14] In June 1998, the station's call sign was changed to KYAK, with the station continuing to air a religious format.[8][15][16]

A license was granted on July 24, 2019, for KYAK to operate an FM translator on 96.1 mHz, K241CV. The translator went on shortly after. K241CV operates with a power of 180 watts, with strong coverage throughout the Yakima Valley.
