History

The station began as a construction permit in September of 1983, but would not go on air until May 5, 1986 after the construction permit was extended multiple times. It was owned by Western Wyoming Radio Inc. [3]

The station and its sister were sold to local resident David Horsely in 2008. [4] The stations and the now active translator for KRSV were sold again in 2015 to the current owners, SVI Media, LLC. [5] [6] The station is an affiliate of the Wyoming Cowboys and Cowgirls from the University of Wyoming. [7]

KRSV and its FM sister are a part of a larger network owned by SVI Media LLC. The network expended in 2018 to include a station and its translators across the border from Afton in Montpelier, Idaho. That station is KVSI. KMER 940 in Kemmerer, and KDWY in Diamondville, were included in the expansion. [8]

KRSV and KRSV-FM had long carried a country format, before the FM counterpart became adult contemporary known as Swift 98.7. [9] [10]
