Callsign meaning Originally, the calls were supposed to be KIRS, back when it was a Spanish format about to sign on for the first time. The AM dial position of 1040 was supposed to be a nod toward the 1040 form issued by the Internal Revenue Service. After the IRS did not see the joke, the calls were hastily changed to KURS just before sign-on.

KURS or Kool 1040 is an oldies radio station in San Diego, California. It flipped to its current format on March 16, 2007, after their previous gospel music format moved to AM 1240 KSON on January 15, 2007. This format switch marked the first time since September 1, 2005 that there has been an oldies station serving San Diego. Before September 1, 2005, oldies music was played on XHOCL-FM, "Kool 99.3," until they flipped to a Spanish Oldies format as "La Preciosa." Kool 1040 is supplied with their oldies music and hosts from Dial Global's "The Oldies Channel". KURS shares their antenna with AM 1240 KSON.
