History

The station was assigned the KMTA call letters by the Federal Communications Commission on September 23, 1986. [1]

In 2006, Stephen A. Marks' Custer County Community Broadcasting Corporation purchased KMTA and KKRY (92.3 FM) from Senger Broadcasting Corporation for $540,000. Marks already owned KYUS-TV (channel 3) in Miles City; as the television station was a satellite of KULR-TV in Billings, it did not count against the Federal Communications Commission's cross-ownership rules. [4]

Stephen Marks died on May 11, 2022. [5] Andrew Sturlaugson's P&A Media acquired Marks' Montana and North Dakota radio stations, including KMTA and KYUS-FM (the former KKRY), for $850,000 in 2024; [6] the sale separated the radio stations from KYUS-TV, which the Marks estate retained. [7]
