KART came on air in 1956. It was a daytimer, signing on at 6 AM, and signing off at 7 pm. It was initially owned by Northside Broadcasters. The transmitter was .8 miles (1.3 km) north of Jerome. It was sold in 1958 to K. and Marion Clark. It was sold to Allen D. Lee for $25,000 in 1965. [3]
The Lee family at one point owned sister stations KEDJ in Jerome, Idaho, and KTHK, in Idaho Falls. [4] The station changed hands in May 2012, as it was sold to Lee Family Broadcasting for $650,000. [5]
KART has been through a number of formats over the years, and was once carrying sports, known as 1400 The Game. In August 2016, the station and its translator flipped to country, and became known as 94-7 Buck-FM. [6]
