KCKN signed on the air for the first time in December 1965 under the callsign KSWS. It was co-owned with KSWS-TV (now KOBR-TV).

The station was using the callsign KBCQ at the time programming Top 40 and the FM station had the KCKN callsign and a country format. In April 1987, the callsigns and formats of the two stations were flipped and 1020 became KCKN Country and the FM became KBCQ-FM Top 40. In the early 90s, KCKN switched to a light adult contemporary/heavy local news format. Nighttime programming has been religion for years. In late August 2005, while operating under an LMA, the station went silent due to technical problems. The LMA was ended and the station signed back on the air in early February, 2006 under the callsign KCKN programming Classic Country music. In 2012, the station was sold to Radio Vision Cristiana Subsidiary Corp.
KCKN was one of the oldest commercial radio stations in the United States and played a significant role in the development of the broadcasting industry. KCKN 1340 AM and KCKN-FM 94.1 were on the air from 1925 until 2000. It was the third radio station to go on the air in Kansas in November 1925. KCKN was one of the first five radio stations to serve the metropolitan Kansas City (MO/KS) media market. (KCKN 1020 AM, Roswell, NM, now uses the call letters, but has no connection to the original Kansas station.)
Entrepreneur and businessman Everett L. Dillard is the individual credited with putting KCKN-AM on the air. The first call letters were WLBF. Dillard began broadcasting from his personal residence. The station's first studio/office location was on the 11th floor of the elegant Elks Lodge Building (905 North 7th Street) in downtown Kansas City, Kansas. The building was last known as the Huron Building and was demolished in 1999. Dillard went bankrupt in the Great Depression. A Wyandotte County District Court Judge granted ownership of the radio station to Alexander Mainland and Herbert Hollister in 1930.
I saw you in my nightmare, glowing in the dark
Oh baby, baby tiger, I need you back
To hide the nights out of my sight
And when you reached the big tree, your belly reached mine
You tied me up with your feet and with your mouth
You made me come a thousand times (x 2)
And my heart might not be shaped like yours
But I swear it is big enough to be your home
I'm the milk in your cereal bowl
Oh baby, baby tiger, I tame you with my breast
I rub you in the shower, I'll do my best
And I know you're wild but we've got time
And I give you while the best I'll find
And my heart might not be shaped like yours
But I swear it is big enough to be your home
