KPCW is owned by Community Wireless of Park City. The programs of KPCW were also carried onKPMD(88.1 FM) inEvanston, Wyoming,until 2011. Community Wireless also formerly operatedKCPW-FM(88.3) inSalt Lake City,but that station was sold to a new organization, Wasatch Public Media, in 2008. Beginning on March 20, 2009, KCPW (1010 AM) became KPCW (AM) simulcasting its FM sister. Late in August 2009 KPCW (AM) was sold toImmaculate Heart Radio,is now known asKIHU,and now broadcasts that organization's programs.
Starting in 2016, Community Wireless moved KPCW from 91.9 to 91.7 on May 23 and took ownership of the 107.9 signal that Broadway Media was donating to them after they movedKUDD's Top 40 format to 105.1, where it will replaceKAUU's country format. At the same time, KUDD's sister station,KUUU,moved from 92.5 to 92.3 with expanded coverage in the Salt Lake Valley, thus requiring KPCW's frequency shift.[4]KUMTwas sold toBrigham Young Universityfor an undisclosed amount in April 2018, with the intent to carry theirBYU Radioformat.[5]
