History
In October 2007, Marianas Educational Media Services applied to the U.S. Federal Communications Commission (FCC) for a construction permit for a new broadcast radio station. The FCC granted this permit on December 18, 2008, with a scheduled expiration date of December 18, 2011. The new station was assigned call sign "KBTB" on December 26, 2011. After construction and testing were completed in December 2011, the station was granted its broadcast license on January 3, 2012.
KBTB was purchased by Rev. Shannon Cummings, doing business as Pure Truth Ministries, for $2,000; the purchase was consummated on June 17, 2013.
On August 1, 2014, the station's call sign was changed to the current KKBT.
