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.[5] The new station was assigned the KKRB call sign by the FCC on February 14, 1983.[6] KKRB received its license to cover from the FCC on December 12, 1983.[7]
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.[8] The FCC issued a new construction permit authorizing the changes on September 4, 1984.[8] The station received a license to cover these changes on March 18, 1988.[9]
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.[10]
