History
KODI signed on with an unofficial first air date of April 8, 1947, and its call sign stands for C-O-D-Y.[3]
KODI is owned by Legend Communications of Wyoming, LLC, as part of the Big Horn Radio Network (also known as Big Horn Basin Media). The station is a key outlet for local and regional news, and hosts the long-running, local talk program, "Speak Your Piece."[4]
In 2016, the station added of an FM translator on 96.7 MHz (K244CG), which broadcasts to Cody and the immediate surrounding area.[5]
The station joined the Buffalo Bills Radio Network in 2024, after previous affiliate KGAB dropped the Bills.[6] The Bills have a strong following in Wyoming due in part to Wyoming Cowboys football alumnus Josh Allen being the Bills' starting quarterback.[7]
In 2023, and 2024, there was a restructure of Legend Communications from co-owner Susan Patrick to Larry Patrick, which was necessitated by legal proceedings involving tax fraud.[8][9]
