Bowie is about 90 miles northwest of the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex. The owners realized that if their FM station could move closer to Dallas, its value would greatly increase. The Federal Communications Commission granted its request to become a "move in" station. It changed its city of license to Highland Village, just north of both Dallas and Fort Worth, and the transmitter was relocated to Collinsville with a big increase in power, 98,000 watts.

In 1997,

On September 18, 2015, KWRD-FM began simulcasting on former Radio Disney affiliate KMKI (620 AM, now KTNO) for a week. The following week, KMKI switched formats to Business News/Talk with content formerly airing on KVCE (1160 AM). On October 20, 2015, KWRD-FM's programming was again simulcast on KVCE. That station is now KBDT, with new owners and a talk radio format.

Unlike most of the area's FM stations like sister KLTY, which transmit their signals from Cedar Hill, KWRD-FM transmits its signal from an area east of Collinsville. Therefore, KWRD-FM's signal is much stronger in the northern parts of the Dallas/Fort Worth metroplex including Dallas, Denton, and McKinney as well as the cities of Decatur, Gainesville, Sherman, and Bonham, to as far north as Ardmore and Durant, Oklahoma, but is considerably weaker in Fort Worth and areas south of Dallas.
