History

KMTN was founded by "Captain" Bob Morris in 1974 and officially licensed on January 28, 1975. In 2012, the studios for the station were located at the corner of Wyoming Highway 22, and U.S. Route 89. [3] Chaparral Broadcasting sold KMTN and seven other stations to Rich Broadcasting for $3.7 million; the transaction was consummated on April 1, 2013. [4] Under Rich Broadcasting, KMTN and its sister FM stations were threatened to be shut off for a period of time due to a tower dispute with American Tower. The station was renting space on a tower, and was behind $500,000. [5] Rich Broadcasting's issues with American Tower began to involve United States Senators Orrin Hatch of Utah, and John Barrasso of Wyoming. [6]

A U.S. bankruptcy court judge in Utah ruled that American Tower could not turn off the radio stations unless a deal was reached. [7]

Rich Broadcasting sold KMTN, three other stations, and four translators to Scott Anderson's Jackson Hold Radio, LLC effective March 16, 2020. [8]
