KKSP changed KKSP's format to Contemporary Christian, branded as "93.3 The Fish".[6] On April 3, Capitol City filed an application to sell KKSP to Salem's South Texas Broadcasting, Inc.[7] Most CCM stations owned by Salem use The Fish, a symbol of the early Christian Church, as their moniker. Salem's purchase of the station closed on October 1, 2015, at a price of $1.5 million.
