During the station's early days, notables such as Jackie Gleason, Skitch Henderson, Vincent Price, Jane Russell, Jack Webb and Charlton Heston visited the station in person and performed live on KSKY.
Salem Media announced on May 29, 2012, that KSKY would be rebranded as The Answer, with the return of radio personality Mark Davis (previously on WBAP). Salem Communications Corporation’s Director of Spoken Word Format Phil Boyce explained the reason for the rebranding: “This station will truly be an answer for so many things going on in the Metroplex and the world, with smart hosts who know how to help you understand all of those things, not to mention great news, traffic, weather, and information.”[2] Most sister stations with similar conservative talk programming in Salem's portfolio were also eventually rebranded as "The Answer".
On January 1, 2014, KSKY began airing the Sean Hannity show 2–5 pm CT, in a move also from crosstown WBAP.
