History
The Federal Communications Commission issued a construction permit for the station on March 9, 1998, to Northstar Enterprises, Inc.[4] The station was assigned the KBEF call sign on May 1, 1998.[5] On September 30, 2000, the permit was assigned by Northstar to the former owners, the Greenwood Acres Baptist Church.[6] The station was granted its license to cover on May 23, 2001.[7]
In 2013, Richard Chreene and Marvin Davis purchased KBEF and its sister station KASO in Minden from Robert and Mary Whitaker, the previous owners.[8] The purchase, at a price of $260,000, was consummated on October 23, 2013.
