The station broadcasts at 105.3 MHz from Seattle, and 92.1 from Aberdeen. It is owned and operated by Crista Ministries. The station's transmitting antenna is located on Cougar Mountain and transmits at 54 kw.

Prior to 1984 KCMS was known as KBIQ. That callsign now belongs to a Contemporary Christian music station in Colorado Springs, Colorado.
