 From 2004 until 2005, the station was leased, along with WMIN, to a group that programmed local and syndicated progressive talk programming, primarily from Air America Radio.When the format's programmers purchased KTNF in October 2004 and transferred programming there, KSMM was up for sale once again, and played random music before returning to a Spanish-language format.In June 1999, after an ill-fated try with a smooth jazz/talk format, the station started playing a variety of songs mixed with listener commentary, experimenting with the musical selection to find a mix that the southwest metro community liked.
