KDXU signed on in 1957 on 1450 kHz. It moved to 890 kHz in September 1985; a three-tower directional antenna is used from sunset to sunrise to protect the nighttime skywave signal of co-channel WLS (AM) (class A) in Chicago.
As a Townsquare Media station, KDXU is managed by James English, with program director Andy Griffin and news director Jordan Verdadeiro. Griffin hosts a 6 a.m.-9 a.m. morning show that also features news by Verdadeiro, plus Griffin hosts a morning political/current events call-in show from 9 a.m.-10 a.m.
In January 2022, KDXU began simulcasting on 92.5 FM (K223DI) in St. George.
