In October 1949, KXOC began broadcasting. In February 1953, KXOC changed its call sign to KPAY. In July 1994, the KPAY building was destroyed by fire. The station was originally located on 1060 kHz, but moved to 1290 kHz, which had been vacated by KHSL-AM after KHSL moved its format to the FM band at 103.5, now known as "The Blaze". In July 2019, Portland, Oregon-based Bustos Media was involved in a multi-station trade. KPAY was transitioned from news talk radio to sports provided by Fox Sports Radio. The original news and talk show content was moved to 93.9 FM.
