History

KNEB-FM officially signed on the air on December 20, 1960. [4] The station was established by the Scottsbluff Broadcasting Corp., which also owned its AM counterpart, KNEB. While the AM station focused on news and talk, the FM signal was launched to provide musical programming to the Nebraska Panhandle and Eastern Wyoming. [5] In 1984, the station was acquired by its current owner, the Nebraska Rural Radio Association (NRRA), a cooperative owned and operated by farmers and ranchers. [6] The station significantly expanded its local market presence in November 2019, when the NRRA purchased several competing stations from Legacy Communications for $1.75 million. [7]

HD Radio

The station broadcast on HD Radio at 94.1 FM.

On July 12, 2018, KNEB-FM launched a classic country format on its HD2 subchannel, branded as "101.7 The Trail" (formerly simulcast on translator K269DO 101.7 FM Scottsbluff). [8] This subchannel went silent on November 1, 2019, as the format was moved to KHYY and rebranded to "106.9 The Trail." That frequency then upgraded later and moved to 107.3 FM, thus changing the name to 107.3 The Trail.
