KUTT went on the air in March 1960 at 1550 kHz as a Top 40 format owned by Music Broadcasters. Its signal was 5 kW daytime only, its transmitter was on Old Highway 75 north of Moorhead, and its studios were in Downtown Fargo. The station was bought in 1965 by Midwest Radio and the station's call letters were changed to KQWB (inspired by KDWB in Minneapolis).
