At the time, KCIM was the first radio station owned by Carroll Broadcasting. The station in 1951 became a member of the Liberty Broadcasting system and featured Liberty's baseball game of the day. In 1953, 1954 KCIM aired White Sox baseball games from WCFL. In 1951 and 1952 they aired Carroll Merchant baseball games. On April 6, 1954, KCIM was granted a pattern change to extend their coverage west of Denison, south of Audubon and east of Jefferson. KCIM-AM was a news station dedicated to news from around the Carroll County Area. KCIM-AM went through a few format changes: first it was a country station, then after the purchase of KIKD it changed to an easy listening format, after a while it switched to classic hits/oldies.
