History
The station was assigned the KMTA call letters by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) on September 23, 1986.[1]
In 2006, Stephen A. Marks' Custer County Community Broadcasting Corporation purchased KMTA and KKRY (92.3 FM) from Senger Broadcasting Corporation for $540,000. Marks already owned KYUS-TV (channel 3) in Miles City; as the television station was a satellite of KULR-TV in Billings, it did not count against the FCC's cross-ownership rules.[4]
Stephen Marks died on May 11, 2022.[5] Andrew Sturlaugson's P&A Media acquired Marks' Montana and North Dakota radio stations, including KMTA and KYUS-FM (the former KKRY), for $850,000 in 2024;[6] the sale separated the radio stations from KYUS-TV, which the Marks estate retained[7] until 2025.[8]
