History

The station first signed on March 20, 1962 as KFLI; it was originally owned by Northwest Broadcasters Inc., headed by Clyde M. Degler. [3] In 1983, Mountain Valley Broadcasting purchased KFLI, which aired a country music format in the 1980s. [4] On October 12, 1983, the station changed its call sign to KJCY, then to KLVJ on January 1, 1989. [5]

In August 1992, Media Venture Management Inc., led by Randolph George, sold KLVJ and its FM counterpart KLVJ-FM to William Konopnicki for $78,000. Both stations were silent at the time of the sale. [6] In April 1995, Konopnicki sold the combo to station manager Jack Jensen, doing business as Valley Mountain Broadcasting Inc., for $310,000; the AM station aired a news/talk format. [7]

In November 1996, Jensen sold KLVJ-AM-FM to Wendell Starke's FM Idaho Company for $475,500. [8] FM Idaho changed the FM station's call letters to KMHI on January 7, 1997. [5] In May 2013, FM Idaho donated KMHI, which at the time was broadcasting a classic country music format, to Calvary Chapel of Twin Falls, Inc. [9]
