On January 16, 2015, KDBI and its "La Gran D" regional Mexican format moved to 106.3 FM Homedale, ID, while 101.9 FM changed its call letters to KPDA and began stunting with a loop directing listeners to 106.3.^[5]

KPDA then continued to stunt, playing random music, then construction site sound effects before 101.9 The Bull launched on February 13, 2015 at midnight with a country music format under new KQBL calls.^[6] FM Idaho Co., LLC acquired the station effective March 2, 2015, at a price of $700,000.
