History

This station received its original construction permit from the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) on January 27, 1981. [2] The new station was assigned the call letters KGBR by the FCC. [3] In November 1982, permit holder James N. Hoff applied to transfer the construction permit for this station to George L. Chambers and Bonnie L. Chambers, doing business as Chambers Broadcasting. The deal was approved by the FCC on February 8, 1983, and the transaction was consummated on April 28, 1983. [4]

Chambers Broadcasting announced a deal in October 1986 to transfer the KGBR permit to Republic Communications of Oregon, Inc. The deal was approved by the FCC on November 5, 1986. [5] This would prove short-lived as Republic Communications of Oregon, Inc., reached an agreement in January 1987 to sell this station to St. Marie Communications, Inc. The deal was approved by the FCC on March 11, 1987, and the transaction was consummated on March 20, 1987. [6]

After multiple extensions and permit holder transfers, KGBR finally received its license to cover from the FCC on June 25, 1987. [7]
