History

On September 20, 1951, the station first signed on the air as KPAM. From 1960 to 1970, there was also a KPFM on 97.1 MHz. On February 27, 1970, KPFM changed its call sign to KPAM-FM. KPAM-AM-FM ran a Top 40 format as "K-Pam." In 1980, Duffy Broadcasting acquired KPAM-AM-FM. In September of that year, KPAM-AM-FM changed to KCNR and KCNR-FM, as the "Center" of the FM dial. The two stations aired an adult contemporary format. From 1968-1988 the station had the callsign KKUL. (The callsign KPAM is still in the Portland market on 860 AM.)

The station was purchased by Alan Gottlieb of Bellevue Washington in 1988, and format was converted by Business, Financial/Investment and Lifestyle programming.

In March 2009, Alan M. Gottlieb applied to transfer control of KBNP Radio, Inc., the licensee of record for this radio station, to the Second Amendment Foundation and the Citizens Committee for the Right to Keep and Bear Arms, both of Bellevue, Washington. The transfer was approved by the FCC on March 27, 2009. [2]
