On March 17, 1997 the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) announced that eighty-eight stations had been given permission to move to newly available "Expanded Band" transmitting frequencies, ranging from 1610 to 1700 kHz, with KBRF authorized to move from 1250 to 1680 kHz. [5] However, the station never procured the Construction Permit needed to implement the authorization, so the expanded band station was never built.
