History

The station received its original construction permit from the Federal Communications Commission on June 28, 2006, [3] and was assigned the call sign KRUG by the FCC on October 30, 2006. [1] The station, still under construction, flipped its call sign to KHAD on April 2, 2009, in a swap with a sister station in Mills, Wyoming, now known as KZQL. [1]

In May 2009, White Park Broadcasting, Inc., reached an agreement to sell KHAD to The Casper Radio Group, Inc. The deal was approved by the FCC on June 5, 2009, and the transaction was consummated the same day. [4] KHAD received its license to cover from the FCC on June 8, 2009. [5]

Originally, the call sign KHAD had been assigned to an AM station in De Soto, Missouri, in 1968. This station closed in the late 1990s.

On January 13, 2023, the station fell silent due to icing on the antenna array damaging parts of the transmitter. The station requested additional time to remain silent while parts were ordered for the transmitter. On August 14, 2023, the station flipped its call sign to the present KWBB, and began a stunt of jockless classic hits music, interrupted only by a legal ID twice per hour. [6] This stunt lasted until the start of October, when the station launched an adult hits format under the Bob FM brand. [7]
