Launched on May 16, 2005, KYOURadio was the first radio station to have output that is 100% based on podcasts, or user-generated content. Announcing the change of format, CBS Radio chief executive Joel Hollander described the new format as something of an experiment. The first program was from podcast veteran Dave Winer.

All content is submitted by listeners, and in the two weeks before launch, the station attracted over 400 submissions, and a month after launch it was broadcasting around 1,200 podcasts a week. All material is screened to ensure it conforms with US federal guidelines on decency. The station manager, Stephen Page, claimed that after six months he had over 2,000 people offering to create content for the station. These contributors are unpaid.

Around 20% of the content is speech-based, with the rest based on music.

KYCY is the flagship station of the Oakland Athletics baseball club for the 2006 season and beyond.
