On February 1, 1992, the station changed its call sign to KYFX airing a Smooth Jazz/Urban Adult Contemporary hybrid format as "Foxy 99.5", later changing to an Urban AC format full-time airing The ABC Radio Networks "The Touch" format in dayparts. On August 7, 2003, the station switched calls to the current KDIS-FM.^[4]

On March 25, 2002, KYFX was sold to ABC Radio, and became Little Rock's affiliate for Radio Disney in September 2003.

In June 2013, Disney put KDIS-FM and six other Radio Disney stations in medium markets up for sale, to refocus the network's broadcast distribution on top-25 markets.^[5] On July 31, 2013, KDIS-FM dropped the Radio Disney affiliation and went silent.^[6] in October, Disney filed to sell KDIS-FM, as well as KRDY in San Antonio, Texas, to Salem Communications Corporation.^[7] The purchase by Salem, at a price of $2 million, was consummated on February 7, 2014.

On February 24, 2014, KDIS-FM returned to the air with Christian talk and teaching, branded as "Faith Talk 99.5".^[8]
