North Texas Radio Group, LP was granted a call sign change to KDNT on March 3, 2020. Historically, the KDNT call sign was located on AM 1440 (now KEXB) in Denton, Texas from 1938 to 1994. The station requested to change the call sign to KLUV on July 13, 2023, and was granted the call sign the following day. This change, which took place on July 19, was disputed, as Educational Media Foundation originally applied to move the heritage vanity calls to an unbuilt FM station in Huron, South Dakota. On February 5, 2024, KLUV changed its call sign to KEEI.
