On September 1, 1985, the station firstsigned on asKGVM.[5] The station had aneffective radiated power (ERP) 3,000watts from a tower that was minus 815 feet inheight above average terrain (HAAT), so its coverage area was limited. The station was owned by Lloyd W. Higuera using the corporate name Carson Valley Radio and it had asoft adult contemporary format.
In 2003, the station was bought by Jerry Evans for $850,000.[6] Evans increased the tower height to its current 2,007 feet (612 meters), giving the station good coverage in the cities of Reno, Sparks and Carson City. The station switched to its current talk format, to compete with the Reno radio market's 50,000-watt talk leader,KKOH,780 AM, owned and operated byCumulus Media.
