History

This station received its original construction permit from the Federal Communications Commission on May 17, 2005. The new station was assigned the KPCN-LP call sign by the FCC on June 13, 2005. KPCN-LP received its license to cover from the FCC on November 28, 2006.

On April 1, 2008, the station applied to the FCC for authorization to move from their licensed broadcast frequency of 96.3 MHz to 95.9 MHz. On the same day, they applied for special temporary authority to broadcast on the lower frequency. While as of September 7, 2009, the Commission has only accepted the authorization request for filing, they granted KPCN-LP the special temporary authority they sought on August 25, 2008, with a scheduled expiration date of February 25, 2009. On that expiration date, the station filed for an extension of their special temporary authority but as of September 7, 2009, the Commission has only accepted this extension request for filing.
