History

This station received its original construction permit for a new FM station broadcasting with 3,000 watts of power on a frequency of 95.9 MHz from the Federal Communications Commission on November 30, 1982. The new station was assigned the KKRB call sign by the FCC on February 14, 1983. KKRB received its license to cover from the FCC on December 12, 1983.

The station filed an application with the FCC in July 1984 requesting a change in assigned frequency from 95.9 to 106.9 MHz and an increase in signal power from 3,000 watts to 43,200 watts. The FCC issued a new construction permit authorizing the changes on September 4, 1984. The station received a license to cover these changes on March 18, 1988.

As part of an internal corporate reorganization, Wynne Broadcasting Company, Inc., filed an application in November 2003 to transfer the broadcast license for KKRB to a new company called Wynne Enterprises, LLC. The transfer was approved by the FCC on December 10, 2003, and the transaction was consummated on March 1, 2004.
