KUDD has been granted a U.S. Federal Communications Commission construction permit to change the city of license to American Fork, Utah (from Roy, Utah), move to a new transmitter site, decrease ERP to 15,000 watts and increase HAAT to 1,243 meters.[1]
The station signed on the air in December 1978 with the call letters KMXU. On January 9, 2004, the station changed its call sign to KNJQ. On June 7, 2006, the station changed its call sign to KAUU.[2]
Until October 27, 2015, 105.1 had been simulcasting sister station KEGA; on that date, the station began stunting with Christmas music as "105.1 The Gift", when it moved to Farnsworth Peak from its former transmitter site east of Hop Creek Ridge in central Utah. The station also changed its city of license from Manti, Utah to American Fork.[3]
On December 2, 2015, Broadway announced they would donate KUDD to Community Wireless, which in turn would move KPCW-FM down from 91.9 to 91.7, with the "Mix" format moving to 105.1.[4]
On December 27, 2015, the station shifted to dance music as just "105.1 FM" as a placeholder format until the move took place on March 31, 2016, at 10:51 a.m., with "New Romantics" by Taylor Swift as the first song after the move. The station concurrently changed its call sign to KUDD with the move.[5][6]
The current morning show is Jon & Chantel, hosted by Jon Watkins and Chantel Lauren.
