KAML-FM and its three sister stations, KIML, KGWY, and KDDV, are located at 2810 Southern Drive, Gillette. KAML-FM and KDDV share a transmitter site south of Gillette on a tower that is the tallest man-made structure in the state.[3]
History
The station's history began when it was assigned the call sign KOLL-FM and went on the air on June 2, 1980. The call sign was officially changed to KAML-FM on December 26, 1988.[4]
In 2024, the ownership of Legend Communications underwent a major restructuring. Co-owner Susan K. Patrick was sentenced to prison for tax fraud, which included evading taxes on millions of dollars in income. She was ordered to pay restitution exceeding $3.8 million. Following this, her ex-husband and co-founder, W. Lawrence Patrick, filed an application with the FCC to become the sole owner of Legend Communications, taking over Susan Patrick's 50% stake.[5][6]
