Contents

KOBB-FM shares a transmitter site with KBOZ (AM) and KBOZ-FM, east of the studios on Johnson Road and Fowler Lane. KBOZ-FM, KOZB, and KOBB-FM all have CPs to move to a new shared transmitter site on top of Green Mountain, along I-90 east of Bozeman.

In 1984, it aired a Top-40 music format, competing against KCDQ. A few decades later when it became KOBB-FM, it began airing an oldies music format. [4] The station derives most of its programming from Scott Shannon's The True Oldies Channel. [5] As of July 2009, KOBB-FM was the only station in Montana to carry The True Oldies Channel.

The station was assigned the KOBB-FM call sign by the Federal Communications Commission on April 11, 1997. [3] Before oldies, the station carried a country music format as "The Kat".

On June 3, 2018, KOBB-FM and its sister stations went off the air. [6] [7]

Effective December 6, 2019, the licenses for KOBB-FM and its sister stations were involuntary assigned from Reier Broadcasting Company to Richard J. Samson, as Receiver. The licenses for these stations were sold to Desert Mountain Broadcasting Licenses LLC for $300,000 in a deal completed on January 31, 2022. [8]
