The original construction permit specified operation on 106.7 MHz, but this was soon changed to 99.1 because of severe interference from KKMR on 106.5. The station signed on in early 2014 as KUKQ-LP with an alternative music format known as "KQ99.1". The KUKQ callsign was formerly used at 1060 AM (now KDUS). After a stint as KOWO-LP "Wow 99.1" from 2014 to 2015, the station relaunched as KQCX-LP in September 2015, then flipped again to alternative rock as "FX 99.1" on January 1, 2016. The call sign was changed once more on January 22, 2016, to KFXY-LP; As of July 2016, the station broadcast a classic country format with Americana and Roots programming known as Coyote Country 99.1. After some time off air KFXY came back on air in 2020 with a variety format with the name Fuzzy 99.5. About a month after that, KFXY re-branded as 99.5 The Ranch and now plays a classic country format mixed with some classic rock and Texas Country.
