History

The frequency was originally allotted to the community of Wallace, Idaho by the Federal Communications Commission as a first-come / first served radio channel. In 1996, Scott Parker's Alpine Broadcasting, Ltd. of Ketchum, Idaho filed an application for a construction permit, then built and licensed the station at Wallace. The original call letters were KSIL (1996-08-16), to represent "Silver" - given the area's silver mining history. Parker later moved the station to Bigfork, Montana and sold the station in 1999 to its current owner, Dennis Anderson's Anderson Radio Broadcasting, Inc. of Polson, Montana. On 2004-03-25 the station became the current KIBG.

    In the 20 years of broadcasting, The Big 100 has aired a classic hits format.  In 2010 the big 100 moved to an adult contemporary format and added Delilah love songs program.  In 2014 it shifted to classic hits.  KIBG currently offers an adult hits format with a diet of music from the 60s to the present but the core of the music is from 1964 to 2004.    [4]
