The station went on the air as KBNH on 1999-05-10. On 2005-06-08, the station changed its call sign to KQTA, on 2015-01-14 to the current KDBI.[2] KQTA was an affiliate of the Spanish Variety "Juan" format until 5pm on September 5, 2011.

Bustos Media used to own the station. In September 2010, Bustos transferred most of its licenses to Adelante Media Group as part of a settlement with its lenders.[3]

On January 15, 2015, KQTA changed their format to Regional Mexican, branded as "La Gran D 106.3" under new call letters, KDBI.[4]
