History of KNUS

KNUS came on the air as KMYR in May, 1941 on 1340 kHz. It moved to 710 kHz in April, 1956. In the late 1980s, the station changed its name to KXBG when it was bought by a Boulder coal company. In the 1990s, the station was the home of Ken Hamblin, Gary Tessler, Alan Dumas, Carol McKinnly, Nia Bender, Piere Wolfe, Mason Lewis, Warren Byrne, Gabby Gourmet, Ron Krieter, and many others. At one point in 1991, it had Peter Boyles 5:00 am till 9:00 am, Gary Tessler 9:00 till 1:00. Ken Hamblin 1:00 till 4:00, Jim Turner 4:00 till 8:00 and Jann Scott 8:00 till Midnight. It broadcast from the 23rd floor studios of the Tabor Center. Scott hosted a show called Jann Scott Tonight. This show often went on night time remote locations including crime scenes, Colfax buses, coffee houses, truck stops, theater openings, bars including Wynkoop Brewery. Jann Scott simulcast the show with Comcast cable. Jann Scott also went up against the popular Rollie James and then George Webber on KOA. The three of them could often be seen dining together at Racine's before and after their shows.

710 would simulcast then-sister KBPI from 1988 to 1989.

In 1993, KNUS was Denver's first station to carry the The Rush Limbaugh Show. When Limbaugh came to Fort Collins for an appearance, thousands of people showed up. Jann Scott also did a live show from Fort Collins where some negative comments were made about Rush. Limbaugh heard the show from his hotel room and came over. Limbaugh and Scott bantered back and forth and then ended up telling jokes and talking to the crowd for two hours. Some say Limbaugh converted Scott into a conservative that night.
