as "KUBE 104.9", with the format targeting the Tacoma and South Sound areas, as their former 93.3 FM frequency adopted KBKS's Mainstream Top 40 format and relaunched as KPWK, "Power 93.3". (KBKS, in turn, adopted KYNW's Adult Top 40 format.) KUBE's first song on 104.9 was "Can I Get A..." by Jay-Z. With the change, afternoon host/program director Eric Powers (who had been with KUBE since 1992, becoming program director in 1998) was let go, with Tiffany Warner moving from middays to afternoons. The KUBE call letters were moved to 104.9 on January 26. Religious (2017-present) On November 1, 2017, iHeart announced that it would acquire KFNQ, KJAQ, and KZOK from Entercom as part of Entercom's merger with CBS Radio. The company planned to divest KUBE and KFOO to Ocean Station Trust in preparation for their sale to a third-party (which was completed on December 19). As part of the impending divestment, the station swapped call signs with KTDD in San Bernardino, California on November 14, 2017. On December 11, 2017, at noon, after playing "Rap God" by Eminem, KTDD switched to an unbranded Contemporary Christian music format fed from sister station KZFS in Spokane. It used the "Positive Hit Music" slogan as an interim format, while KUBE's programming and format was moved back to KPWK on an HD Radio subchannel (which, albeit partially, reversed the 2016 swap). The KUBE callsign and format was restored to the 93.3 frequency in full in May 2018. On August 31, 2020, it was announced that 247 Media Ministries would be acquiring the station from the Trust. Upon closure of the sale, the station joined the "Worship 24/7" contemporary worship music network, becoming the second station in that network, joining with KURT in Bend, Oregon (owned by the same founders, albeit under the name H&H Broadcasting). The purchase was consummated on November 3, 2020, at a price of $320,000.
