History
The station was assigned the call sign KCKR on October 12, 1982. It received a license to cover on May 28, 1985, signing on with a country format, and using the "Kicker" branding. On June 15, 1987, the station changed its call sign to KBHT, and again to the current KBPC on February 12, 2013.
KBPC has remained a country music station for most of its existence. The only exception was under the stewardship of Weston Entertainment, who changed then KBHT to classic rock. Weston Entertainment sold KBHT to KBPC, LLC. in 2013, after accusations of sexual harrassment were levied against station management, forcing the facility off of the air. KBPC, LLC. returned KBHT to the air on June 5, 2013. Once operations resumed, KBHT reverted to country music, changed call letters to KBPC, and was renamed "Pine Country 93.5".
A few of the previous KBHT classic rock hosts include Big Chuck "The Original Outlaw", Cuzzin Longhair (host of the Psychedelic Armadillo Show) and Crystal Clear The Weather Goddess, and Mike, host of Mike's Metal Mayhem.
