On April 19, 2017 Red Rock Radio announced that it would sell KQDS and WWAX to Twin Ports Radio for $200,000; through a time brokerage agreement, Twin Ports assumed control of the stations on May 1. Twin Ports' owner, Dan Hatfield, also runs Christian radio station WJRF; following the sale, WWAX and KQDS were to move their studios to WJRF's facilities, but would retain their sports formats.[6] The terms of the sale required KQDS to change its call letters.[7] Upon consummation of the sale on June 30, 2017, KQDS changed their call letters to KJOQ and rebranded as "The Jock 1490".
At the end of February 2021, it was announced that the Oregon-based radio network Worship 24/7 would begin operations on KJOQ by March 8 of the same year.[8] On March 7, 2021, KJOQ switched to the Worship 24/7 network.[9]
