On June 2, 2017, the then-KYSJ went silent.
Effective January 4, 2018, Lighthouse Radio Group re-acquired KYSJ from John Hunt for $5,000. On January 8, 2018, the station returned to the air with an oldies format, branded as "105.9 The Legend".[5] The station changed its call sign to KLJN on January 12, 2018.
