History

The station was first licensed as KLTB on February 2, 1968. It changed its call sign to KBLR-FM on April 23, 1979, and to KYOO-FM on July 18, 1979. [3] This station served Bolivar, Missouri, but could be heard in Springfield.

On October 10, 1989, KYOO-FM 106.3 was sold. The station was moved to 105.9 and became the current KGBX-FM primarily serving Springfield, taking the call letters from KGBX (1260 AM). [4] The city of license was eventually moved from Bolivar to Nixa.
