History

This station received its original construction permit from the Federal Communications Commission on May 8, 1998. [4] In January 1999, permit holder Jann Holter Bernsten applied to transfer the construction permit to Marathon Media of Montana, LP. The transfer was approved by the FCC on May 27, 1999, and the transaction was consummated on August 2, 1999. [5]

The new station was assigned call sign KYLO by the FCC on December 28, 1999. [1] This call sign was changed to KXLB on January 26, 2000. [1] KXLB received its license to cover from the FCC on January 4, 2001. [6]

In late-December 2000, Marathon Media Group, LLC, announced an agreement to sell KXLB to Clear Channel Communications subsidiary Clear Channel Broadcasting Licenses, Inc., as part of a multi-station transaction. The deal was approved by the FCC on February 21, 2001, and the transaction was consummated on the same day. [7]

In October 2007, Clear Channel Communications applied to the FCC to sell this station along with 56 sister stations in 13 markets across the Pacific Northwest-Rocky Mountain region to Colorado-based GapWest Broadcasting. [8] The deal, valued at a reported $74 million, included six Bozeman stations, seven in Missoula and five in Billings. Other stations in the deal are located in Shelby, Montana, and in Casper and Cheyenne, Wyoming, plus Pocatello and Twin Falls, Idaho, and Yakima, Washington. [8] The deal was approved by the FCC on December 5, 2007, and the transaction was consummated on February 13, 2008. [9] GapWest was folded into Townsquare Media on August 13, 2010. [10]
