History
The station first signed on the air on August 20, 1988 as KWBI-TV. Founded by Colorado Christian University, it originally operated as a religious independent station. In 1993, Colorado Christian University sold the station to Faith Bible Chapel International; the station changed its callsign to KRMT on January 10, 1994. Faith Bible Chapel sold KRMT to Daystar in 1997.
Analog-to-digital conversion
KRMT shut down its analog signal, over UHF channel 41, on June 12, 2009, the official date in which full-power television stations in the United States transitioned from analog to digital broadcasts under federal mandate. The station's digital signal remained on its pre-transition UHF channel 40. Through the use of PSIP, digital television receivers display the station's virtual channel as its former UHF analog channel 41.
