The station is currently owned by licensee Benett Kessler II Trust, which is owned by investors.[5]

After having an adult contemporary format for many years, KSRW flipped to the alternative rock format on September 6, 2015, and then to classic rock in May 2022.

KSRW-LP signed off on analog channel 33 at 6:20 am PDT on July 13, 2021. Sierra Wave Television is still on Channel 3 on Optimum (formally Suddenlink) and still produces its local news program under the name "Skippable News" and is uploaded on the Laughing Parrot Production YouTube page.
