The FCC returned the 107.9 frequency on which KDND was licensed to operate to the agency's inventory of unused channels, to be put up for auction to the highest bidder. The FCC stipulated that use of the frequency must retain its short-spaced protections to Cumulus Media’s 107.7 KSAN San Mateo, California. Any applicant will be limited to 50 kW ERP and an average height above average terrain of 123 meters in the direction of KSAN. The FCC included the 107.9 frequency in its auction scheduled to begin April 28, 2020, but the auction was indefinitely postponed on March 25, 2020, due to the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic. The allocation will again be up for auction as part of FCC Auction 109 beginning July 27, 2021.
