On December 26, 2010, KHUI flipped from Adult Standards to a simulcast of Salem's Christian Talk sister station KGU 760 AM. The call letters switched to KGU-FM to match the call sign on 760 AM.[5]
The simulcast ended on February 1, 2011, when the AM station flipped to Business Talk.[6] That left KGU-FM with the Christian talk and teaching format. (KGU 760 is now a sports radio station.)
